This is our primary communication with God. Prayer is a bi-directional conversation with God in which we can express our gratitude and as well as our requests. When we run to prayer first, before we do anything else, we are proving that Christ is the Rock of our lives and we live in Him. There are many styles of prayer that we can pray but only one way to begin in each; with s thanksgiving. As Psalms 100 says “Enter His gates with thanksgiving…” we must alway begin with remembering that God is good and reflecting on all the goodness God grants us, daily.
Prayer is seeking Gods Guidance and His will above our own. When we run to Him in prayer we are joining in on His plans and purposes. In Luke 11, after Jesus is praying, the disciples ask Jesus to teach them how to pray as He does. He answers the disciples with a template prayer that closely resembles an outline of how we submit our hearts, minds, and desires in prayer, through what is commonly called The Lords Prayer.
Here at Ardent, we have a dedicated prayer team available throughout the entire session. At any point, you are free to go and agree with them in prayer or kneel and pray at the alters.
