Greetings! I'm Pastor Chris McKinney, and I've had the privilege of serving as a pastor in Graham, Washington. The Pacific Northwest has been my home for as long as I can remember, and I've been fortunate to be part of various church communities as a believer and a Pastor.
My unwavering passion lies in the profound study of God's word, as I firmly believe it holds the power to breathe life into our existence and illuminate our path. My heart desires to guide individuals in navigating life's challenges through the unwavering anchor of faith.
Why a Devotional on Prayer?
Prayer, though one of the most fundamental of spiritual disciplines, often remains in the background, quietly supporting our spiritual journey. As a Pastor, I understand the profound need for dedicated moments of prayer, and I keenly sense its absence when I neglect it. Prayer has weaved an intricate tapestry within my life, weaving its influence in ways beyond quantification. What I do know with unwavering certainty is this: God yearns for our prayers, and the Holy Spirit, as God's divine messenger, bestows upon us everything we need when we approach prayer with open eyes, ears, and hearts.
This truth has been a north star in my journey, and I hope it will blaze a path in yours.
