Why Pray?

|
Remember, OUR SERVICE is HOW the LORD ANSWERS PRAYER!
|
Prayer bridges the gap of sin, space, and time engulfing us on all sides, separating us from the closeness we once shared with our Creator.
If the church is the ship, the Holy Spirit the wind in its sails and Christ the anchor, then prayer is the rudder that guides the Christian’s life in the stormy sea that is this world. Prayer is the hand we extend to help someone that has fallen, the blessing we speak to comfort someone who grieves, the joy we express when a child does well, and the mourning we do when a loved one passes away. Prayer is the sword that strikes at our enemies, the shield that defends against their attacks and the victory song we sing when the adversary has been defeated. |
