INSIGHT

Humility Is The Starting Point

  • True prayer begins with the awareness that you do not belong in God's presence by your own merit.
  • Humility is the only vantage point from which genuine prayer can proceed.
ADVICE

Set Your Will Aside For God's Will

  • Set your will aside and submit your requests to God's will rather than badgering God for your desires.
  • Practice self-denial in ministry by removing ego and seeking God's power, not human approval.
ADVICE

Pray Using 'We', Not Just 'I'

  • Identify with God's people when you intercede and pray using 'we' instead of focusing on 'I'.
  • Pour out your heart for the whole body of Christ and embrace mutual, communal prayer responsibility.
