1. Prayer as Encounter (Psalm 73)
How can prayer shift from being a routine space to a relational space, a space where God becomes real to your heart? In this opening message for Thrive’s series on praying the Psalms, Michael Bouterse, Thrive’s local director, teaches through Psalm 73. Psalm 73 revolves around an encounter that Asaph had with God that changed his life forever. This is what prayer is meant to be: not just a churchy ritual, but an encounter of awe and intimacy with God.
