From Slump To JumpSample
A New Approach To Prayer
Prayer is often misconceived. We build it up into something that must be formal and reverent to be accepted by our Lord. After all, He is God. You may even consider it awkward to pray - stuck on things we "should" do, such as having to pray on our knees or having the right words. Reflect for a moment on the relationships you have with your close friends or family. God has adopted us as His children and desires that we communicate with Him, similar to how a child would with a parent. Kristin King discovered this refreshing new approach to prayer.

Prayer is not about technique; it's about relationship. We can talk to God anytime as our Abba Father (“Abba” means “father” in Greek). Free yourself from the prayer "shoulds." Instead, embrace a comfortable, constant conversation connection with your loving Father God. The more you try out this new approach to prayer, the more natural it becomes. And this deepening relationship with God will bring joy to both you and God in the process.
About this Plan
In the New York Times best-selling book When , author Daniel Pink says, “When we reach a mid-point, sometimes we slump but other times we jump. A mental siren reminds us that we have squandered half our time.” Our prayer is that you have “invested” the first half of your year well. But whether you would like some encouragement to power through the second half or need a bit of motivation to beat a slump, we offer this seven-day challenge. Each day contains a short audio message (1-2 minutes).
