Father , help us as we gather in your name and our belief in you here in this place . It's a common saying with us that you work in mysterious ways . That is not true Lord . Yours is the way , it is constant , it is just and it is right . You are never changing , you are honor , you are mercy , you are love and you are truth .

Help us here in this space to honor you through encouragement of one another . To give praise that you are due . Please hear our requests for others in times of trouble . Strengthen us , give us discernment and the wisdom to do your will as you would have it done . As iron sharpens iron give us to build each other through you in our lives . Help us to seek your Holy Spirit to guide .

Thank you for providing a place irregardless of distance , denomination , origin , or any circumstance we can gather here to glorify you in our lives . Help us through our common faith and belief in you to build one another . Guide us in loving our neighbor through you . Thank you for all you have done in our lives that you created . Thank you for the mercy of forgiveness that we would be lost to you without . Continue to inspire our lives and others through all you give . Amen

The Power of Unified Prayer

“So He said to them, ‘When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.’”
—Luke 11:2

If we were to write what is known as the Lord’s Prayer, it probably would sound like this: “Our Father in Heaven, give us this day our daily bread. Let’s just get down to business. Here’s my list.”

There is a place for petition. There’s nothing wrong with asking the Father in Heaven for what you need.

However, let’s notice that the template for prayer Jesus gave us begins this way: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Luke 11:2 NKJV).

In other words, first take time to contemplate the greatness of God. There are exceptions, of course. If you fall off a ladder and you’re on your way down, a simple “God, help!” will do.

But when we begin our prayers by thinking about the awesomeness of God, it will cause us to see our problems, crises, and burdens in a different light. It will change our perspective as we recognize that God is bigger than our problems.

Let’s also notice that Jesus taught us to pray, “Our Father in Heaven,” “Give us day by day our daily bread,” “And forgive us our sins” (emphasis added).

We need to pray with other believers.

There’s nothing wrong with asking God to forgive our sins and to provide our daily bread, but the emphasis is that it’s something we should do together. Christians need to pray with other Christians.

Have you ever been overwhelmed with something, and then you prayed about it with a Christian friend? You felt so much better after you prayed, didn’t you? That’s because there’s power in unified prayer.

Praying together makes all the difference in the world. The Bible tells us to bear one another’s burdens. Don’t do it alone. Don’t do life alone. Don’t try to be a solo Christian.

Than you Pine Baron . There are many that don't come or comment here regularly but that come in times of need . Knowing there are others who respond with unquestioning support in their situation .

It is a place to gather and a place to acknowledge GOD through showing care for another in many different ways . Through that caring we exalt our Lord through this place open to all .
