On Mondays, we like to draw your attention to certain aspects of the Scottish Women’s Convention. For the next few weeks, we’ll be telling you a bit more about the range of Seminars that are on offer.

Sharon Dickens, from Niddrie in Edinburgh, will be leading a seminar on ‘Why are we not desperate to pray?’.

What is the seminar about?

How often have we heard a sermon or read a book on prayer that has challenged us to pray more? Yet, no matter the prayer plans we make the challenge somehow doesn’t move us to pray more regularly. All too often it’s a struggle to pray. Why are we not desperate to pray? We become self-reliant. All too often when we do pray it becomes more about us than God.

How can we love to be desperate to pray and become dependent on God?

Who is the seminar for?
Any and all Christians!

Why is this area important?

We can’t survive without God. Prayer is a necessary lifeline to an intimate relationship with our heavenly Father. All too often we see it as an optional extra instead of an essential part of our relationship with God.

Besides your seminar, what one thing about the Scottish Women’s Convention are you looking forward to and why?
