When we truly believe that prayer can make a difference...we will pray!


Prayer is a Privilege.  If we are going to have a relationship with the God of our Salvation, we  need to learn the value of prayer and reading God's Word. This is where we get to know Father God, our Saviour Jesus Christ, and the Precious Holy Spirit. 


Why do we pray? To live in Relationship with Father God. Can you imagine having a relationship with anyone on this earth and not talking to them, or wanting to spend time with them?  To build Relationship we must value being with that other person. And so much more we need Time with the Lord.  As we read the New Testament, we see Jesus praying often. He knew it was necessary to Pray.   Jesus prayed in (Matthew 26:36) "Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and said unto the Disciples, Sit  you here, while I go and pray yonder." (Matthew 14:24) "...He went up into a mountain apart to pray:..." (Mark 6:46) "And when He sent them away, He departed into a mountain to pray."   Mark (14:32) "And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and He said to His Disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray."  (Luke 6:12) "And it came to pass in those days, that He went out into a mountain to pray (John 17:9) "I pray for them:..." (Read John 17: 9-20) Jesus needed to pray, how much more do we need to pray?

How do we Pray?  Follow Christ's example. We simply talk to God. That is it!  Just talk to Father God. You might ask, "About what?" We can talk to Father God about any and everything. He wants to hear it all.  What makes us happy, and what makes us sad. He wants to hear, "Thank You"  for all the wonderful things He does in our lives. He want to hear, "I Trust You Lord", even when we do not understand His Ways. He loves for us to "Praise Him" as this is showing Him how much we love and appreciate all He does for us.  Also, He wants us to bring every need to Him, no matter how great or how small.

Can you believe the Creator of the Universe,  is just waiting for us to come in His Presence and talk to Him?  It is so hard to comprehend but it is so true! The Only True God wants a personal relationship with Us! There is an old saying, "You will be like who you hang around." This is very true.  Salvation is just the beginning of our relationship with our Lord.  Is it also true, when we first meet someone we really do not know them.  If we want to get to know that person we spend time with them, and from there a relationship grows!  In prayer we grow closer to God. We learn what pleases Him and what doesn't please Him.  The more we are with the Lord, the more we will be like Him.
 
If Jesus felt the need to pray, (and He did) what make us think we can live for God and not have a "Prayer Life"?   Every believer needs to spend time in prayer with the Lord. Why would we serve a God we do not want to talk to, or have a relationship with? Prayer is a vital part of a Christians Life. Without a prayer life we will not know the God we serve. So please, lets learn to value our times of Prayer!

If you have just given your heart to God, Congratulations! The Prayer section of our Website will help start your new relationship with Father God. If you have been saved for sometime but just never knew how to pray and draw closer to Father God, we welcome you also! And, if you are a seasoned Christian, you must know by now that there is Power in Agreement, and we welcome you too!
