Having a Direct Conversation with God

Prayer—that direct conversation with God—is one of the most powerful tools a Christian has to make change in the world and in ourselves. And yet, so many of us don’t know how to pray. Our minds wander. We don’t know what to say or what to ask for. Ed Stetzer talks with Bil Cornelius about his book, Pray Big, Listen Bigger: The Art of Powerful Prayers and Life-Changing Answers and how we can see prayer as not just a means to present our requests to God, but as a key element of a relationship with Him on Ed Stetzer Live.
