The Habit That Keeps You Close to God

Mar 24, 2026    James Epperly

What happens when prayer becomes a daily habit instead of a last resort? In Day 2 of the Kingdom Habits series, Pastor James teaches on Daily Prayer and Presence—how a consistent prayer life strengthens your spirit, settles your mind, and keeps you close to God.


This practical biblical message explores why Jesus often withdrew to pray, why prayer is relational before it is functional, how God’s presence brings peace and clarity, and why the secret place produces public strength. If you have felt spiritually dry, distracted, overwhelmed, or inconsistent, this teaching will help you begin building a steady life of communion with God.


Scriptures in this teaching include Luke 5:16 (NKJV), Matthew 6:6 (NKJV), Psalm 27:4 (NKJV), Philippians 4:6–7 (NKJV), and James 4:8 (NKJV).
