Does it feel as though your life is full of unnecessary clutter? If so, you’re not alone. While you can find plenty of good advice about how to declutter your closet and your calendar, the best way to live a life focused on the essentials is to hear good news. Because of Jesus, we know where we are going. And once we know where we’re going, we’ll know what we need. This week we see that prayer is an essential—and natural—response in our relationship with God. When we know what our Father in heaven is like, how he works, and what he promises, we naturally hold onto those realities in prayer. When a child sees his father do something impressive, he naturally requests, “Daddy, do it again.” Prayer is just as natural response to the great things our God has done.
