Go for the Glory

Have you ever felt discouraged in prayer?  Do your prayers sometimes feel more like a transaction than a relationship?  In this powerful guest message, Daniel Henderson challenges us to pursue the highest reward of prayer—not merely answers, relief, or direction, but God Himself. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 3:18-4:1, we discover how prayer is designed to transform us into the image of Christ as we behold His glory.  Prayer is more than bringing requests before God. It is an invitation into intimacy with Him, where the Holy Spirit renews us, shapes us, and empowers us to live for His purposes.  In this message you’ll discover:  • The difference between transactional, therapeutic, and transformational prayer
• Why God’s glory is the highest reward of prayer
• How intimacy with Christ changes us from the inside out
• What it means to seek God’s face before seeking His hand
• The role of the Holy Spirit in effective prayer
• Why gathering with others to pray matters
• How prayer strengthens believers and advances God’s kingdom  Key Scriptures:
