Your Prayer Life
Your Prayer Life is a space to find peace and joy in the presence of God, moment by moment. Prayer and reflection is such an important structure to further your relationship with Jesus. Prayer is such an important spiritual practice and an expression of our faith. Let us help you enrich it:
As Christians, we want to be faithful in our prayers, but even if we know how to pray, how can we make time to pray? How can we be faithful in our prayers? How often should we pray? For whom should we pray? We can help equip you to:
- Being in regular church attendance is the best foundation for a faithful prayer life
- Making time to pray
- Preparing to pray
- Using God’s own Word to shape your prayers
- Meeting the struggle that leads to a faithful and regular prayer life
In a word, prayer is communication. It is going before God and speaking to Him honestly, attentively, and respectfully. Our prayers make our requests known to God (see Philippians 4:6); our prayers are to be done without ceasing (see 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). Our prayers should be offered to God in times of thanksgiving and distress, in sickness and in health and, above all, in faith.

Prayer Requests
Intercession is a prayer of petition for the interests and needs of others. Just as the Holy Spirit intercedes for us according to the will of God so we also intercede. (Romans 8:26-27) The commitment to pray for others is a sacred privilege and is an example of faith in action. Feel free to submit a prayer request below. The form goes directly to Pastor Bill Reister only.
“This is the confidence we have in approaching God; that if we ask anything according to this will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us – whatever we ask – we know that we have what we asked for.” 1 John 5:14-15.
