Prayer

By praying we learn to pray.  If you want a life of prayer, the way to get it is by praying.  If we really mean to pray and want to pray, we must be ready to do it now.

How should we pray?  The most straightforward response is to talk to God about what’s on your mind.  That’s it!  You talk to God like a friend.  You vent.  You ask. You laugh. You unload.  You just talk. You don’t try to sound more holy or pure or spiritual than you are.  Prayer isn’t a noble monologue, it’s a free-flowing conversation.  If you are praying, you are already doing it right.

Prayer is a place for meeting God with your deepest heartaches and fears; it’s a space to bring your most vulnerable self to Him, where you can openly express your anxieties, sorrows, and uncertainties, knowing that He welcomes all of it. “Be devoted to prayer, being watchful and thankful.” Colossians 4:2. Being devoted to prayer will mean that you come to God often desperate and often delighted. 

PRAYER OPPORTUNITIES!

*Following the service each Sunday (10:15-10:30am), we have a dedicated time for prayer in the right front corner of the Worship Center, where anyone who would like to receive prayer for any concerns or needs is welcome to stay and join us.  “Don’t worry about anything, instead pray about everything…”  Philippians 4:6

*Prayer Gathering each Wednesday 7:00-8:00pm. We invite you to join us for an intercessory prayer gathering where we will stand in the gap for others.  If you have a heart to pray, want to learn to pray or would like to receive prayer, please come!  We will learn together, worship, pray for personal and collective breakthroughs, pray over homes, our loved ones and our community, intercede for our community and nation, pray for decisions and challenges we are facing and much more.

*You may also write your request(s) on the cards located in the back of the church pews and drop them in the white ballot box located at the back of the church.  Our Prayer Team will pray for these concerns during the week.
