Prayer

We believe in the power of prayer!

What is Prayer?

“Prayer is simply talking to God—and the most important thing is that God wants you to talk to Him! He loves you and He has promised to hear you when you pray.  Whether you are praying out loud or praying silently in your heart and mind, God hears your prayers.  The Bible says that God sees ‘our innermost thoughts and desires’ (Hebrews 4:12). The Bible also says, ‘The Lord detests evil plans, but he delights in pure words’ (Proverbs 15:26).

“God even hears our prayers when we can’t even put them into words—times, for example, when our hearts are too burdened or confused even to speak. The Bible says, ‘the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express’ (Romans 8:26).

“One of God’s greatest gifts to us is the privilege of prayer—a privilege that is possible because of what Jesus did for us on the cross. Thank God for the privilege of prayer and learn daily to ‘Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you’ (1 Peter 5:7).”

If you would like for someone to pray with you or for you, please submit a prayer request.
