InPrayer At a recent Worship Team Service the congregation were given a booklet about prayer. Sanderstead Methodist Church Serving God and the Community In Prayer Our prayers can make a difference to God and the World God will always forgive a sinner who repents – and change that life forever Pray for God’s presence in us; to be able to comfort others, and being grateful for what we have Prayer is a spiritual recharging, best carried out daily Prayer is a partnership between God and humanity Jesus found prayer a lifeline. It guided Him and gave Him energy to do God’s will We can always call on God when we are in trouble or distress God does care about the details of our lives Prayer can make a difference, but it may not be immediate. Perhaps months or years in advance In Acts, Paul prayed for widows; but then appointed deacons to look after them Prayer is not a substitute for action. Jesus spent long hours in prayer and long hours in action We must learn to listen to a God who talks quietly to us God invites us to pray for what we want, even though He knows our needs already If we confess our sins, it opens up a channel of communication with God Sanderstead Methodist Home Page
