Description

What do you do when prayer feels intimidating, confusing, or even pointless? Why is it so hard to talk to God—even when we want to? In Week 2 of our “Every Day” series, Pastor Scott Savage explores the deeper reasons so many of us resist prayer and the surprising truth that God isn’t waiting for perfect words—He’s inviting us into honest connection.

Through 1 Thessalonians 5 and stories from real life, Scott shows how prayer reminds us of our dependence on God, shapes us into the image of Jesus, and aligns our hearts with the Holy Spirit. He also tackles the quiet fears many believers carry: Does God actually hear me? Why doesn’t prayer “work”? Am I praying wrong?

If you’ve ever struggled to pray or felt stuck in your spiritual life, this message offers compassion, clarity, and simple ways to begin again. God meets us in authenticity, not performance—and He wants to walk with you every day.

📖 Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:16 –18, Psalm 121, Proverbs 3:5–6, Romans 8:28 –29, 2 Corinthians 3:18 , John 16:13 , Luke 18
