Do you really want to make a difference?
It all starts with prayer!
Why
is prayer important?
Prayer is foundational to the Christian
life. Scripture admonishes us, "devote
yourselves to prayer."
(Col 4:2)
It is the
way we communicate with our Creator.
Relationships, whether human or divine,
never grow apart from an investment in
quality time in communication. Prayer is
our opportunity for developing true
intimacy with our Lord who desires
fellowship. God uses prayer to change
our lives. The Bible commands us to
"pray without ceasing"
(1 Thes. 5:17)
Any
believer can pray any time, any where.
God loves His children so much that He
gives them access to the most powerful
thing in the church…prayer! No matter
your age, health, location, situation…
you can pray!
The only
prayer a non-Christian can pray is
"Lord, I am a sinner, save me!" After
this prayer, then the new believer can
start to "snuggle up" to God in prayer.
What
can it do for people?
The real question is not what "it"
can do for people but…what He, (Jesus)
can do because of prayer. Prayer to the
Christian is the same as is oxygen is to
the physical body. It is a must. When a
Christian prays he begins to discover
what John 10:10 means. Jesus said, "I
came that you may have life and have it
more abundantly!"
