Do You Only Pray When You Need Something?

It’s easy to treat prayer like a transaction — asking, requesting, pleading. But God desires something far deeper. He wants relationship. He wants your presence, not just your petitions.
In this clip from Divine Intimacy Radio, we explore what it means to encounter Jesus personally — not as an idea, not as a concept, but as a living Person who longs to be with you.
