Irritated, Irrational & Frustrated: Not the Mom I Want to Be – How Do I Break Free?

God-Centered Prayer: Week 4 – God’s Purpose

God-Centered Prayer: Week 4 – God’s Purpose

Prayer is often a list of requests, a plea for help and a desire to get an answer. Over the next five weeks, we will we take a journey toward “God-Centered Prayer.” The purpose of this series is to pray to God acknowledging who He is and what He has done in our lives.
