    Standing itself is interpreted as praying, for it is said, "and Abraham rose early in the morning to where he stood, "and there is no prayer but standing." though sometimes they prayed sitting, as David did, 2 Samuel 7:18

    Let us daily call on God, let us continually approach God’s throne of mercy to access the wonderful privileges, benefits and blessings that are found in the place of prayer.

    To understand the meaning of the phrase ‘Watch and Pray’, let us look at Matthew 26:36-46 where Jesus used this phrase. In the context of this scripture, in this situation where Jesus instructed His disciples to ‘Watch and Pray’, what He meant was: • Stay awake and pray with me. • Don’t sleep, be ...read more

    "Your will be done on earth as in heaven." We may not say the exact words but many of our prayers could be summarized with the words, “please let my will be done.” What's the answer to this paradox of prayer?

There are seven petitions in the Lord’s Prayer as we pray it. After addressing God as our Father in ...read more

    Is prayer a first response to you? Or is it a last resort? Do you pray in an attitude of gratitude? Or are you always grumbling? When you pray, do you make sure that God receives the glory, & not you?
