Without prayer in the Christian life there can be no fellowship
with the Lord or
power for
testimony in our
lives. Prayer is
the life-breath
of the
Christian. God
speaks to us
through His
Word, the Bible.
We respond to
Him through
prayer and
praise. It has
been said that a
prayerless
Christian is a
powerless
Christian.
Prayer is our
direct line with
heaven. Prayer
is a
communication
process that
allows us to
talk to God! He
wants us to
communicate with
Him, like a
person-to-person
phone call.
Jesus set the
perfect example
of obedience in
prayer. Although
His day was
filled from
morning to night
with many
pressures and
responsibilities
-- He made
prayer a top
priority. If
Jesus was so
dependent upon
His fellowship
in prayer alone
with His Father,
how much more
you and I should
spend time alone
with God.
How do I pray?
In Matthew
6:5-13, Jesus is
teaching on
prayer. Looking
through this
passage could be
a great
mini-study for
you. Look at the
different
elements of
Jesus’
instructed
prayer and
suggest it as a
model for your
own prayers:
v. 9 Praise and
adore the Father
v. 10 Ask that
God’s will be
done
v. 11 Ask for
what we need
v. 12 Confession
of our sin
v. 13 Ask for
God’s help as we
are tempted
For further
examples of
prayer in
Scripture,
please read the
passages below.
And may God
bless you in
your desire to
draw closer to
Him in prayer.

The purpose of
the Redemption
Baptist Church
prayer ministry
is to actively
encourage and
promote prayer
within the life
of the church.
By being open
and responsive
to the working
of the Holy
Spirit, we pray
that God's love,
guidance and
healing power
would be
released for the
benefit of His
people and to
His glory.
"This
is the
confidence we
have in
approaching God:
that if we ask
anything
according to His
will, he hears
us. And if we
know that he
hears us -
whatever we ask
- we know that
we have what we
asked of him."
1 John 5: 14 -
15.
