Prayer is the practice of the presence of God. It is the place where pride is abandoned, hope is lifted, and supplication is made. Prayer is the place of admitting our need, of adopting humility, and claiming dependence upon God. Prayer is the needful practice of the Christian. Prayer is the exercise of faith and hope. Prayer is the privilege of touching the heart of the Father through His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. James 4:8
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:6-7
Father, in Your mercy, hear our prayers.

"Praise Report!! I called the prayer line on the morning of 4-18-08 about my husband's 2-yr old great niece Tatiana Michael, who was admitted to the dell Children's Hospital emergency room for a severe athsma attack and given a grim report by the attending doctor, saying he didn't expect her to live. God answered our prayers! She was released later that day and her parents got a forced apology from the doctor who gave the evil report. God revealed through Tatiana's previous physician that the attending doctor intentionally said things he knew was not true to scare the parents, and was unprofessional in his behavior.
Prayer Requests: please pray that God will completely heal Tatiana Michael of athsma and her severe allergic skin reactions, and that her parents Christina and Danny Lee "Mike" Michael will be saved. They are presently self-proclaimed atheists. Also pray for complete healing of my Mother-In-Law Wanda Michael and my father Robert Williams from cancer. They both are saved. " |
