In Call on Me, Michael Youssef shares the importance of praying to God consistently, persistently, and expectantly. Using examples from Scripture, believers are encouraged to rejoice in the hope of Christ, to remember past blessings with gratitude, to expect God to do great things for His glory, and to cry out to God on behalf of the next generation of believers.

In this second message of the Call on Me series, Dr. Michael Youssef urgently reminds believers that effectual prayer must begin with thanksgiving. Drawing from Scripture and Israel’s history, he warns against spiritual amnesia—a deadly forgetfulness of God’s past faithfulness that leads to ingratitude and ineffective prayer. As seen in Joshua’s memorial stones and the leper who returned to thank Jesus (Luke 17), God blesses those who remember and honor Him. Dr. Youssef calls the Church to reject a self-centered, demand-driven view of prayer and instead approach God with a heart full of praise. Those who testify of God’s past provision are equipped to intercede with boldness for the next generation.
