Believe it or not, everyone doesn't know how to pray. We all come from different upbringings and some of us may feel intimidated when it comes to praying for others and ourselves. That's why Christian author and minister, Pamela D. Smith is sharing with us today the 5 prayer principles that changed her prayer life. Pull up a chair and be ready to take notes, sis.
There's a misconception that if you've been in church for a while, you should know how to pray. However, that isn't always the case.

This can cause many to forego praying altogether, unfortunately.
In today's chat, Pamela D. Smith shares with us:
If you've struggled with praying or want to learn how, pull up a chair and get ready to take notes on how you can start praying (effectively and confidently).
