JOIN US IN PRAYER
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. – Philippians 4:6
As followers of Jesus, we pray because He prayed. Prayer is our way of turning our attention to God and talking with God, as Jesus taught in Matthew 6:9-13. In prayer we cast our cares on Him, and receive from Him peace, comfort, and the courage to persevere in all our circumstances. We encourage you to pray...
