Prayer... the foundation of our relationship
with Christ, and the essential piece of
Armor that we cannot live without....We
move mountains and hear His still small
voice....
through prayer....
"There
is a popular notion that prayer is a very easy
thing, a kind of common business that may be
done any how, any way without care or effort.
Some think that you have only to reach a book
down and get through a certain number of very
excellent words, and you have prayed and may put
the book up again. Others suppose that to use a
book is superstitious and that you ought rather
to repeat extemporaneous sentences, sentences
which come to your mind with a rush, like a herd
of swine or a pack of hounds, and that when you
have uttered them with some little attention to
what you have said, you have prayed.
Now neither of these modes
of prayer were adopted by ancient saints. They
appear to have thought a great deal more
seriously of prayer than many do nowadays. It
seems to have been a mighty business with them,
a long-practiced exercise, in which some of them
attained great eminence, and were thereby
singularly blest. They reaped great harvests in
the field of prayer, and found the mercy seat to
be a mine of untold treasures." - Charles
Haddon Spurgeon
Please make prayer a
priority. Without a commitment to be a praying
church, the church can never expect to be
triumphant in terms of spiritual and numerical
growth. There is no greater honor that to pray
for our brothers and our sisters. Someone,
somewhere, is standing in the gap for those
going through trials, and what seems to be their
darkest hour, they are believing for things you
cannot believe for yourself right now....praying
you through the storm, and pushing back the
curse.... somebody's praying you through.
Please make time for prayer if you're not all
ready, it is essential to an intimate
relationship with the Savior and the one thing
that can move the hand of God. Jesus forever
intercedes on our behalf. The following links

family, and the Nation.
