Alex Seidler, Director of Global Ministries, ends the first day of Prayer Week with an inspirational message surrounding the question: Is God your steering wheel or is He your spare tire? Alex, challenges the students by asking them, "Are you willing to become a person of prayer? The end goal of prayer is looking right into Jesus' eyes." Through many stories of missionaries who serve in different countries, he describes God's process of prayer as slow, humbling, intense, and difficult. We are called to be a people of prayer. Prayer is not meant to be a last resort but a first priority.
