Sometimes people say, “Prayer is just talking to God.” In a sense, that’s true. There’s no magic formula or special wording. But if what you really mean is, “I don’t need to learn anything about prayer,” then that’s a different story. What would you think of a guy who said, “I have nothing to learn about how to communicate with my wife?” And this is God we’re “just” talking to!
When Jesus’ disciples asked him how to pray, he didn’t say, “Prayer is just talking to God.” He actually taught them how to pray. “This, then, is how you should pray…” (Matthew 6:9). He taught surprising stories about what it takes to move God’s heart. For Jesus, prayer was more than just shooting the breeze with God. Prayer changes us, and God actually responds to our prayers.
Prayer can be a frustrating experience. Is God listening? Will he do something? Why doesn’t he respond? Whether you’re interested in starting a conversation with God for the first time or in taking your next step, it’s time to start praying for a change.

Human trafficking is real, but it doesn’t have to be. We can do something about it.
Come and find out how you can help this Sunday, Nov 6th, at 4862 Broadway, New York, NY 10034 * (map) at 11:00am. Everyday Church welcomes Nomi Network, an organization that helps rescue women and girls from human trafficking. Among other services, Nomi Network provides an alternative livelihood and the dignitiy of a true profession by training rescued women t0 create designer bags. For families in a desperate situation, this is a necessary part of the solution to human trafficking.
During our final Sunday of “Love is Something You Do,” Everyday Church will contribute 50% of the cost of these bags, so that Nomi Network can offer to sell them for half off! We believe so strongly in the the work they do, we’ve set aside money to match your half of a purchase. Come ready to buy a bag (or more, as gifts!), wear it, and spread the word about Nomi Network.
