Grow through a Calvary Equip Class this Fall! How satisfied are you with your prayer life? If you are like 99.9 percent of the rest of us, this is one area of your life you feel needs improvement. Perhaps your self-talk is similar to what the rest of us often say to ourselves: “I really need to pray more. Maybe... I need to get on my knees when I pray, or... get up a bit earlier, or... read another book on prayer. Hmm. Actually, I don’t really know what to do to make my prayer life better. Oh well, I guess that’s just the way it is.” Let me suggest that God would love to help your prayer life become less of a chore and more of a joy! One of the ways God might use to do this is for you to join others in a Calva- ry Equip class on Prayer that my wife Marcia and I had the privilege of teaching last year and plan to help teach again this fall. First, let’s be totally clear: neither Marcia nor I have by any means arrived at perfection in our own prayer lives. But God, in His kindness, has given us some major downloads of both grace and truth in this area which have incrementally im- proved our prayer life and, as a result, have enhanced our walk with Jesus. We consider it a privilege to share with oth- ers what we are learning. We are grateful that many of those who attended our class this past year reported growth in their prayer lives through the lessons and exercises that were part of our time together. We look forward to teaching it again
