![]() When we are experiencing a hard time, or witness someone else going through a difficult trial, we may often feel the need to call upon a higher power with a problem we can't handle. Keeping in mind Prayer should not be our last option, it should be our first. God wants to be first in everything; putting him above everything else in our lives is best for us. Whether you are looking for a physical healing, an emotional lift, financial blessings, marriage solutions, psychological answers, a cry out from lonliness, or a closer relationship with the Lord, Prayer is the way to communicate directly with Him. There is power in prayer, but you must pray to the Heavenly Father through the Lord Jesus Christ, only by Him. Many people think you have to pray a certain way, like using objects,or chanting some names, or some formal repetetive recited prayer. God didn't make you a robot, and he doesn't want you to follow the ways of religion, because He said "Come follow Me, I am the way, I am the truth, I am the life." He didn't say follow your ancestors traditions, He said "Follow Me!" You won't find anything about prayer beads, or other such objects, because those things don't matter, they also serve no purpose. The Bible never says to pray through a priest in a confessional, you especially won't be forgiven through a man! You can speak to God through the blood of Jesus Christ at any moment. So speak to God from your heart! Talk to him like he exists, not like you're reading a book! Get religion out of the way and expose your heart to God, and cry out to Him any way you know how. Just like you'd talk to a person, you first say their name, and then talk to them. Instead of saying, "Bye". You would say, "In Jesus Name, Amen." Amen simply means to express agreement. God isn't a stranger to who you are, so talk to Him the way you would with someone who knows you. To put it as simple as possible, "Be Real To God." We would love to pray with you and for you and we have prayer warriors that will storm the gates of heaven and stand in the gap for you.. ![]() Hearing God's Heartbeat The amazing thing about prayer is that it's so simple - it's just talking and listening to God. Whether it's to thank Him for the good things, ask for help in tough times, or simply tell Him how great He is (and then to hear Him tell you how much you mean to Him!) prayer is a vital part of everyday living with God. Another facet of prayer is praying for other people - taking their needs to God and asking Him to supply them, or thanking Him for what He's done for them. It's an incredibly powerful way of supporting people, even if they aren't aware of it!
