It’s no secret that in busy Northern Virginia, we struggle with priorities. That’s the reason there is such traffic, because we’ve all got places to be. There are important jobs to do at work. There are relationships to nurture at home. We need to get to school, to the airport, the home improvement store, the gym. There’s sports practice, dates, appointments, groceries, you name it.

We have as many things on our minds as we do on our plates, and we struggle with what should come first. Some think that God should come first. And doesn’t that mean that in all things, prayer should come first?

The pathway to God is laid with prayer. Galilee United Methodist Church invites every busy Northern Virginian to our summer sermon series, “In All Things—Pray First,” as we explore the encouraging prayers of the Bible and learn the power of prayer through the lives of praying people.

New lead pastor Jason Duley examines actual prayers from the Bible.

Come worship with us this summer and witness the power that prayer has to inspire and motivate. Learn to improve and deepen your practice of prayer. Come have your heart touched to act in loving service so that we may lay down burdens and break down barriers!

Pastor Duley says: “As pastor my hope is that in response to these sermons, people will write out a prayer goal, write personal prayers in a journal, prioritize prayer as the #1 activity for the average day, and increase prayer by five minutes a day.”

Pray first. Does that sound like a priority?
