UGA Wesley

It is often easy to become frustrated in the place of prayer. We often don't know what to pray, when to pray, or how to pray. I grow weary and find it difficult to persist in prayer (Luke 18). We fail to cry out for those that need the Lord's help, His healing, or His salvation. We are weak and it is easy to give up. However, God has so much more for us! I need reminding that prayer is simply communion (being) with the one who made me, who loves me, who pursues me, and who desires to live His life through me.

I find great comfort in knowing that the disciples needed help in prayer and asked Jesus to "teach us to pray" (Luke 11:1). C.H. Spurgeon says, "Prayer itself is an art which only the Holy Spirit can teach us. Pray for prayer. Pray until you can really pray." We are fully dependent on God to draw us to our knees and show us how to pray. We learn how to pray and grow in prayer by... praying! Prayer is not the means to an end. It is the end! Fellowship and communion with our Heavenly Father is what this life is all about. He is inviting us; He is calling us; He is waiting for us!

Do you long for something more in your prayer life? Do you want to learn how to pray? Do you hunger to go deeper with God in prayer? Then pray! He is so gracious in meeting us right where we are.


Join us this Friday night from 10:00 pm - 2:00 am for the semester's first Friday Night Fire. Come and experience an environment where you can worship and pray freely as the Lord draws you closer to Him. We desire to be the watchmen of Isaiah 62:6 that pray "all day and all night" and who "never keep silent" nor "take a rest." There is intimacy and power in corporately praying during the night. We would love to experience the Lord with each of you!
