Prayer

We believe that prayer is a natural

expression of one’s relationship with God.

We believe that God hears our prayers,

assists us with praying, and answers

our prayers according to God’s will.

There is no mention of God commanding people to pray, ​but prayer seems to have begun freely and spontaneously. ​Prayer to God should be as natural as a child talking to its ​Father and Mother. When we truly know and understand ​God, then we will desire to talk with God. One of the great ​blessings the Christian enjoys is the assistance of the Holy ​Spirit in prayer. The apostle Paul writes, “in the same way, ​the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what

we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for ​us through wordless groans” (Romans 8:26). God answers ​prayer! We can have confidence that if we offer an ​acceptable prayer, according to God’s Word, that our ​prayers will be heard and answered according to

the will and wisdom of God.
