For some reason, the day I planned to record my most recent video message to serve others was in the midst of a heavy snowfall. I wrestled with changing the day for recording, but settled on sticking with it because it related to an important part of my message on prayer.



In this 59 second message, hear how you might be able to revitalize your prayers by occasionally changing your context for prayer. It’s a small change that might make a big difference.



If it’s helpful, let me know your thoughts in the YouTube comments section. And definitely share it with others if you think it’s helpful.



As always if I can in any way support you in prayer. Feel free to connects in the comments section. or message me through this link: https://joshsamuel.com/contact.

A number of years ago, an elder at my church gave me some advice on prayer. He shared it with me just as I was about to go to Bible College to train for Christian ministry. It's something that has been crucial in my formation as a Christian and how I pray. Hope his advice here for me, can be helpful for you too.
