Summary

What if prayer isn't about finding the right words or getting God to do what you want — but about friendship? In this Lenten sermon, Dave explores how prayer moves us beyond desperation into genuine intimacy with God. Dave challenges us to see prayer not as a spiritual technique, but as an invitation to be with someone who loves us unconditionally. CHAPTERS
