The Necessity Of Powerful Intercessory Prayer
I wonder what condition the church would be in if we didn’t have faithful intercessors?
Living a Life Worth Living – Writings by Robin McKinley
Prayer in the Hebrew Bible is an evolving means of interacting with God. Most frequently though, through a spontaneous, individual, unorganized form of petitioning and/or thanking. The act of praying is a method of changing a situation for the better.
Prayer is, in the Christian faith and in many other spiritual traditions, a way of being and a way of relating. Prayer is a way of being: being in the moment, being present, being open. It is a way of learning to be ourselves. … Praying is a way of relating: to God, to ourselves, to those around us.
We can use prayer as a way of opening our hearts to God, not as a being living in an extra-dimensional heaven, but as the wellspring of creative energy within us and the universe. By quieting our minds, we can open ourselves to experience this divine ground directly.
