Developing a Praying Congregation: Intercessory Prayer Guide

Developing a Praying Congregation: Intercessory Prayer Guide

FPC Ministries

Jun 7, 2024

For Jesus, daily prayer wasn’t just a ritual—it was as essential as breathing. Through prayer, He discerned God’s will for His life and found the strength to counter the spiritual apathy, hypocrisy, and injustice of His time. As our resurrected and living Lord, Jesus promises to stand with us in our daily struggles. The Spirit He placed in our hearts calls us to turn to God in prayer, where we find comfort, support, rest, and peace.

Jesus beckons us to bring our joys, concerns, hopes, and fears before our loving and just God through prayer. In doing so, we become empowered for loving service to a world in need of healing.
