Our first covenant with God is to set aside a regular prayer time. This could be a daily devotional time you spend by yourself, as part of the Intercessory Prayer Teams, or as part of a Circle of Hope. Our church needs all of our prayers as we go forward. The world needs our prayers as we face the challenges ahead. Imagine what incredible transformations can occur when thousands of individuals spend a part of each day in prayer.
Prayer is essential to a healthy and growing spiritual life.
It is the source of much of our spiritual growth. A healthy church is a praying church. Presence Worship is a priority for healthy, growing Christians. In the same way that one can't survive by only eating two weeks of every month, so too, our spiritual lives are impoverished when worship is not a regular priority for us. One's spiritual needs are no less important than one's physical needs.
