It’s incredibly easy to fall into an "autopilot routine" with the people we care about. We perform standard human interactions without actually exchanging anything meaningful. And if we’re completely honest, our prayer lives can look the exact same way—relying on generic, drive-by phrases like, "God, please just be with them today."

In Week 2 of our series A Praying Church, Pastor Nate Loucks challenges us to move past effortless catchphrases and step into a deeper territory of prayer. Looking at Paul’s letter to the Colossians, we will learn why you cannot pray for who someone is becoming if you aren't paying attention to what they are going through.
