Prayer
Prayer is an important part of our
faith as Anglicans/Episcopalians because it is communication with our God.
We as Christians recognize our dependence on our Creator. We have many
reasons to express gratitude for God's blessings. However, prayer is not
only responding to God's grace brought to us by Jesus and the Scriptures;
it is also requesting our needs and interceding for the needs of
others. First, address the God the
Father, tell Him who He is, and praise him; Kimiko says: "The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous person avails much." -James 5.16 NKJV Trina says: "Those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." - Isaiah 40.31 NKJV Suggested external links:
