They all joined together constantly in prayer. — Acts 1:14
Have you ever felt nervous about praying out loud in front of a group of people? Believe it or not, me too. And I think those kind of nerves simply come from being human. But nerves also surface when we think prayer is more about a performance than a practice with God.
Any athlete, musician, pastor, teacher, writer — anyone committed to their craft — will tell you it takes practice to do what they do so well. It takes practice until something becomes a skill; it takes practice until something becomes a habit, or a consistent rhythm. And the same goes for prayer.
Prayer is a practice with God, not a performance. And the more we practice our prayer, the more natural our conversation with God will be. That's why I wrote The 28-Day Prayer Journey, because I knew I wasn't the only one who needed the consistency and accountability of time in prayer with God. Over the course of the next few weeks, we're going to experience different practices of prayer as a way to deepen our relationship with God. Some practices will probably feel more comfortable than others, and that's okay. But the goal is to be consistent with prayer as you develop your own rhythm and routine — your own practice of prayer.

The two can be used together, but really are best one after the other! STUDY GUIDE + BOOK
The study guide includes the video teaching notes, interactive workbook pages, Bible exploration, guided prayers, and reflections that will help you in your personal Bible study along with the free videos.
