Powerful lessons from the life of Peter we can all relate to. In this life we will go through difficult times, we make wrong choices, temptations become too great and we fall. Peter decided his life wouldn’t be defined by his failures; he made the decision to trust God again.

Prayer is a learned activity. Jesus taught his disciples to pray by focusing on four principles. Honor God: We pray to the creator who holds the universe together. Submission to his will: aligned your will with God’s will. Our daily bread: thank him for the basic essentials of life. Lead us not into temptation: pray to avoid the things that will lead you into Satan’s hold.
Jesus said “My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations”, Mark 11:17. Since we are the house of God as disciples let us strive to understand the privilege, purpose and the power of prayer.
