Silence and Solitude

Alfredo Ramos Week 1

Pastor Fredo Ramos introduces a new series that will challenge us to grow in our understanding and practice of prayer. In this message, Pastor Fredo introduces the importance of getting quiet in order to hear from God—something that Jesus modeled for us!

WHAT YOU CAN DO THIS WEEK
As you think about spending time with God in silence and solitude, what are your thoughts and feelings about doing this, and what do they reveal about what you believe? Ask God to help you experience His loving gaze upon you as you sit with Him in silence for a few minutes. Listen for what He may be saying to you through your thoughts and feelings, and have a conversation with Him about them. Thank God for His great love for you and the transformation He will accomplish in your life through these extended times of prayer.

Explore the 40 Days of Prayer Series

You cannot be a Christian without prayer. The Christian life is rooted in prayer. There are many reasons why Christians struggle to pray consistently, even though they know they should. The distracting noise of our world, not having the desire to pray, not knowing how to pray, or not feeling safe to say, ‘I don’t know how to pray (or pray consistently),’ are just some of the major barriers to prayer. In this series, ‘40 Days of Prayer,’ the barriers to and myths about prayer will be addressed, and our congregation will be educated and equipped to pray and implement consistent, healthy, and meaningful prayer rhythms and practices into their lives, as well as learn about different forms of prayer. These rhythms, practices, teachings, and truths around prayer will come from the life and example of the man who was the closest to God, Jesus.
