Prayer Convictions

On By BrianIn Prayer Quotes

What are the convictions of a praying leader, a praying believer, and a praying church?  In summary:

  • God is worthy, far beyond the attraction of anything this world offers.
  • I am needy, in spite of my apparent self-sufficiency and earthly prosperity.
  • Jesus Christ invites me to seek Him and will empower me by His grace to endure in my pursuit.
  • Jesus longs for His church to be a house of prayer, and I will faithfully contribute to that vision.
  • Jesus’ glory in and through the church to the world will be my determined passion.
  • God is a rewarder of those who seek Him diligently.

Praying in Community

On By BrianIn Prayer Quotes

In our culture of rugged individualism we have come to the conclusion that it is better to pray alone than with others.  Unfortunately, most of us never learn to do either one very well.  Like most disciplines of the Christian faith, we learn best to pray alone when we have been taught in community….We need to create a new sense of community in prayer to help people rise above their individualistic bent.
