Radical Prayer: The Power of Being Bold and Persistent

What if we prayed how Jesus taught us to?

Many of us pray with little heart. We mutter the usual and leave with little expectation. But is this how Jesus taught us to pray?

The Lord’s Prayer is a prayer according to God’s will, a prayer that beckons heaven to crash into earth. Tied to the sure promises of God, it compels us to seek—and expect—His glory in every sphere.

When one prays consistently, persistently, and boldly for the hallowing of God’s holy name, big things happen. Radical Prayer gives us a glimpse of the transformative and explosive power of praying in God’s will, a power that takes place internally and manifests externally.

Whether your prayer life is strong or in shambles, Radical Prayer will compel you to a life of bold, persistent, transformative, and expectant prayer.
