Ch. 331 - A Place of Prayer

The sermon this morning at my church in Cedar Rapids was about prayer. So, so great. Here are some of my notes from the sermon:

Prayer can be a lot of things.
A moment.
A thought.
Meditation.
Reflection.
Prayer is active.

A congregation of unity can [and should] be found in pray for and with one another. In the midst of everything that happens around us, prayer needs to be imperative from day-to-day. Even at our church, which is situated in a pretty poor neighborhood... people don't usually come looking for a handout. They come looking for a hand to be held in prayer.

We need support in prayer -
but prayer needs our support.

Every breath we take is a prayer.

Pray out of awareness.
Pray out of generosity.
... We need to be more generous with our prayers.

Everything we give and offer up to God is a prayer.

We can be in constant communion with God.
Extend your hands so that Christ will take hold.
He will lift you up.


'And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.'
[Ephesians 6:18]
