Sometimes God puts something on our hearts – a change we need to make, an opportunity to serve, or a step of faith He’s calling us to take. And usually our first instinct is to make a plan and get to work. But there’s a crucial step we can’t afford to skip: prayer. We need to talk to God, because prayer gives us the strength to follow His lead and the faith to step into the unknown. So what does it look like to pray before I act?

From Series: "Do Something: From Burden to Action"

Sometimes the next step isn't obvious. We sense God stirring something in our hearts—a burden we can't ignore—but we're not always sure what to do with it. Whether it's serving others, meeting a need in our community, or making a difference in our church, God often begins with a burden before He reveals the plan. Join us at Flagstone for our new series, Do Something: From Burden to Action, as we follow the story of Nehemiah and discover how God used an ordinary man with an extraordinary burden to accomplish something significant. Along the way, we'll see that God is still calling His people to step out in faith and take action today.
