All About Prayer - May the following articles and practical advice help you develop the moment - by - moment prayer life that God desires for you to experience. 1 John 5:14 - 15 says, "This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

OWNER’S DESIGN SAYINGS _________________________________

“Most of our churches have people who genuinely know how to pray. The vast majority of our memberships just don’t pray. Our challenge is to increase the number who consistently and fervently go to the Lord in prayer”. Danny Von Kanel

“The moment you wake up each morning, all your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals. And the first job each morning consists in shoving it all back; in listening to that other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other, larger, stronger, quieter life come flowing in.” C.S. Lewis

“Never under estimate the power of a senior adult or a shut - in who stays at home and does nothing but pray for others. His or her life will reap heavenly rewards that those of us in leadership will never come close to matching.”


BIBLE SNIPPETS _________________________________________

“Thus says the Lord who made the earth, the Lord who formed it to establish it—the Lord is his name: Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. Jeremiah 33:2 - 3

“Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.” Mark 11:23 - 25
“If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.” John 15:7
