Prayer @ Greyfriars
|
Prayer is not merely a way to get things from God … it is a way to get more of God himself. |
Prayer is one of the wonderful gifts God has given us. From ancient times the church has spoken of prayer as a means of grace, that is a way in which God blesses, sustains and enriches us spiritually. Prayer is the means by which we open our hearts to God and draw near to his heart. It allows us to deepen our relationship with God, grow nearer to God and to have a better understanding of God’s will.
Prayer changes us as we humble ourselves and speak to God about the things that matter in our lives. Prayer moves us from telling God what we want to listening to what he wants. Prayer opens us to the spiritual dimension of life and allows us to exercise our souls. Prayer can bring peace to the deep places of our lives and strengthen us with the deep assurance of faith.
Greyfriars is a praying church. Prayer is foundational to everything we do. We begin our year with a day of prayer and follow with seasons of prayer as the year goes by. We have weekly prayer meetings, encourage our growth groups to pray and we keep prayer as an important part of our worship services. We invite you to join us for prayer.
