Prayer Connection

 Live to Pray

Through prayer, individual and corporate, we communicate with our Creator.  We can ask for help when our strength fails us.  We can seek comfort in times of distress.  We can pray for direction for our own lives and in our churches.  We can express overflowing joy in our hearts through praise and thanksgiving.  We can petition the Father on behalf of our lost people of the world, and our missionaries.  We can ask God to show us how to live HIS call to us in our own family, our community, and our world.  

Create a time and place to pray.

Praying Specific Prayers of Intercession
Are you praying for the pastor of the church you attend? Are you praying for your church and its leaders? Here are a few examples of specific intercessory prayers for our pastors and spiritual leaders.
Praying for Pastors
As Pastors, you already know the power of prayer. As believers in God, if you don't know the power in prayer, try praying these scriptures for your pastors. Our pastors are serving God and the attacks of the enemy are non- ceasing. Pray these scriptures for your pastor or all pastors.

Scripture
"How blessed are those who observe His testimonies, who seek Him with all their heart ." Psalm 119:2

Prayer
Father, we seek You with all our hearts, asking You to bring glory to Yourself by unleashing Your Word with great power in our lives, churches and nation. Revive us according to Your Word by helping us obey it. In Jesus’ name, amen. 

  

God Loves To Hear His People Pray
If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, you are called to prayer - bold, fervent, daily, constant prayer! James 5:1 says "the effective fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much."
Come Boldly To The Throne Of Grace
Do you get caught up in ordinary, busy things? We do lots of church work, but the very most important activity we should be doing, is praying. This activity gets left out; Satan loves it when we fail to get on our knees, talking with God.
God Expects You to Ask!
Over and over in the Bible we hear God telling us to Ask. He delights in showing us His way of doing things. He always responds to our need in a way that pleases Him and shows how mighty and awesome He is.

Jeremiah 33:3 says, Call to me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things of which you do not know. Will you consider being led toward a Kingdom-Focused prayer vision and begin to pray as Jesus prayed?
How to Fast and Pray
The mention of prayer and fasting is found throughout the Old and the New Testaments. In Psalm 35:13, David wrote: Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth and humbled myself with fasting.
WHY BE INVOLVED IN A PRAYER MINISTRY
Prayer shapes the life of a church, the life of an individual. What kind of church or person do you want to be?
The Path of Prayer
Jesus prayed so often and for so many that his earthly life was literally marked by prayer. He had his favorite places where he would get alone and commune with his heavenly Father. Jesus would often rise long before dawn so his day could begin in prayer. He would pray all night when he faced important decisions.
Prepare the Way by Prayer
After this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them in pairs ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come. Luke 10:1 Jesus' instructions to the seventy was to pray; pray for workers in the harvest; pray before He arrived.
Listen to HIM
Prayer is not reserved for some special spiritual elite person; it is for you and everyone. Jeremiah 33:3 says, "Call to me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know."
