I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and give himself for me.
- Galatians 2:20
Prayer
The main purpose of
prayer—whether traditional
Christian prayers, daily Bible
verses, spontaneous pleas for
help or expressions of praise
and thanksgiving—is to
connect us to a Higher Power,
to deepen our relationship
to our Lord, and to affirm our
hope and faith in God’s love.
Come pray with us.
