In this powerful and heartfelt sermon, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson launches a new series focused on deepening our prayer lives in 2025. Reflecting on personal struggles and victories in prayer, Pastor Johnson challenges listeners to evaluate their time with God and to pursue meaningful communion with Him.

Drawing from James 4:8—"Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you"—this message emphasizes that prayer is not just a duty but a delight. Pastor Johnson explores the common obstacles to prayer, including busyness, worldly distractions, lack of faith, and spiritual fatigue, and encourages believers to rediscover the joy of God's presence.

Key themes include:

Cultivating a hunger for God over worldly pleasures.
Viewing God as both a loving Father and a holy King.
Praying to know God deeply and to be known by Him through honesty and vulnerability.
Seeking quality time in prayer, not just quantity, to grow in faith and intimacy with God.
Drawing inspiration from Scripture and the lives of faithful saints, Pastor Johnson calls the church to a revival of prayer—both individually and corporately. He encourages us to pray until our hearts are stirred, to seek God's face fervently, and to enjoy the unmatched peace and joy that flow from His presence.

If you’re longing for spiritual renewal and a closer walk with God, this sermon offers practical steps and biblical encouragement to transform your prayer life. Tune in and be inspired to make 2025 a year of prayer!
