Pray - One of the Seven Faith Practices

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”  1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Disciples pray frequently because it is the way to a close and growing relationship with Jesus.

Prayer is: 

A         Adoration (praise, honoring God);

C         Confession  (saying I’m sorry and I can't do it on my own; acknowledging sin;

T         Thanksgiving (saying thanks, counting blessings, allowing God's perspective

           to shape life); and

S         Supplication (asking for, praying for others, petitionary in character).

Through prayer, God’s will is discerned and greater clarity is gained for our journey.
