Life has a way of chopping us down sometimes.  We can feel beat up by this life and feel disappointed. Disappointment in ourselves and in others. It has an effect on us, on our perspective, on our outlook on life.  When we make mistakes, when we mess up, we feel guilty, ashamed of what we’ve done and so we hide.  This affects our ability to love others and to let ourselves be loved.  

The truth is we are damaged people; maybe your parent’s divorce messed you up, or Middle School messed you up, or your choices messed you up. 

And having been damaged, we unknowingly damage others by our behaviors, our reactions, like anger, envy, bitterness.  

But God.... 
Jesus comes to reverse all that, by pouring out HIS incredible love and grace and acceptance of YOU—not matter who you are or what you have done. He said: I’ll die on a cross for you.  

“Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends.” 
-Jesus, Revelation 3:20

In today's message, Pastor Paul Richardson discusses prayer.  Prayer is our direct connection to God. But prayer sometimes feels daunting. We don't know what to say, we may feel like we don't approach God with enough reverence, or maybe we think "I don't know any prayers." 

Today's message will help you understand what prayer is meant to be and will help you experience the comfortable and peace received after talking to God.  Let's listen.

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
~James 4:8
