Slot Machines and Prayer Things

Is your prayer life more like a vending machine—where you expect quick answers—or a slot machine—where you randomly throw up prayers, hoping to hit the jackpot? In this message, we explore how hurry is the enemy of intimacyand how true prayer is about relationship, not just requests.

Jesus teaches us a rhythm of prayer in Luke 11 that moves beyond just asking for things to experiencing deep connection with God. When we focus on intimacy over efficiency, we grow as devoted disciples who ask, seek, and knock with persistence, trusting that God gives us not just what we want—but what we truly need.

🔹 Key Takeaways:

Hurry weakens our relationships, including our relationship with God.

Prayer is about intimacy, not just getting results.

Jesus provides a rhythm of prayer: Personal, Praise, Purpose, Provision, Pardon, and Protection.

Devoted disciples persist in prayer, knowing God gives good gifts, including His presence.
