Lakepoint Church with Brian HofmeisterRestfully Restless Prayers - Heavy Prayers - Cammie Hronek & Brian HofmeisterAnxiety gets you restless enough to pray for something. Abiding brings you back to rest as you pray for it. Back in April, we had a prayer initiative that was similar to what we are doing right now.

Each one of the 7 themes could be a sermon, but Pastor Brian and Pastor Cammie did their best to distill some scripture and insight into how these prayers could each lead us to a deeper place of abiding.
