Prayer is simply a two-way

conversation between you and
God.
Billy Graham

My dear People,
Everyone faces challenges in life.
Whether it is financial, vocational, relational or physical, we can be certain
that nobody is exempt. But Fortunately, we serve a God who is interested in our problems and is able to
take care of them.
But the problem is that most of us have busy
lives that consume our time and attention. We
are bogged down with so much of work that we
feel we have no time for God. So when we face
challenges in our lives we do not know how to
handle them but are confused, frustrated and
dissatisfied.
God has given His children the privilege of
prayer. He wants us to bring our concerns
directly to Him. When we seek His guidance
and direction and invite His control in our
lives, He will give us wisdom for good decisions, increase our strength and energy to accomplish the chores of the day and free us
from unnecessary anxieties.
The early church prayed together often and
accomplished great things for the Lord. So,
we, as a church should come together very
often, to pray and seek Gods guidance and
blessing for our own spiritual life, the wellbeing of our family and the growth of our
church.
Charle Spurgeon says , A prayerful church is
a powerful church.
I urge all of you to participate in all the
prayer meetings of the church.
Love
Raja
