Prayer Is A God Thing

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. James 4:8

Have you noticed how God has been calling many different groups within His church to prayer. God is making it clear that He wants us to pray. It is essential for us as Christians to pray and seek the Lord’s will in everything we do. Without His Spirit working in us, we can do nothing to advance His kingdom. God is answering prayer. God is working in our midst in a great way. Pray that everyone in the church will know God more intimately through prayer.

Pray that God will help us as individuals and as the church to make the following commitments.

We will spend more time with God in prayer.

We will make time to memorize God’s Word and incorporate it into our prayers.

We will pray that God will raise up many who will become involved in prayer.

We will pray for our leaders and staff, and their families.

We will seek to know and pray those things which are on the heart of God.

We will pray for our enemies, until we truly love them as much as Jesus does.

We will make prayer the center of our family life.

We will commit to pray for those who are suffering for Christ’s sake and the Gospel.

God promises that if we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us. That is why to Pray in 2005.
