Having taken part in the Lausanne Congress in Capetown, I could see how the Lord answered many of my prayers all around the world and I fell even more in love with HIM. Northkorea, India, Madagaskar, Tanzania.. etc. everywhere HE is moving mightily! What was your exprience?

Prayer is our bridge to Grace by way of our relationship with God.  We a so bleesed to have both that bridge and that relathionship.  God and Jesus are my friends.  How wonderful that my friends are always available and around me!

Myexperience is that prayer is my way of having a one to one relationship with God. I am open to His direction. I cry out when there is trouble like a child would to a father. I also see pray as a connection between God, me and others. I believe very much intersessory prayer both locally and globally. I have seen amazing things that God has done in those people’s lives when joined prayer is done. I believe that is what prayer is intended for, communication and intersession.

@ MzBoom:

Prayer is our telephone line to God. Prayer is for asking requests, for comfort, intercession, and as you say, so you can have a relationship with God. I agree prayer does help locally and globally. We should never look at prayer as an ineffective mechanism. I do believe prayer changes things. I agree with your comment 100%.

Mzboom thanks for your posting. I agree with you that prayer that personal,a one on one relationship with God. It is a time we can cry out to Abba Father with all our cares and concerns. Yet as you stated it is a communal time also.

In Prayer with others we get to know the hearts and minds of each other and this brings us into a closer relationship /fellowship with each other. I beleive that prayer is God’s plan to connect us not only to him but to each other.

Prayer is an outflow of a loving relationship. Prayer is the life line that connects us to God. It is in this connection or relationship that we are nourished and kept. Prayer is such a special gift from God. It takes us to a higher and deeper place that we never even knew was there. There is such wonder in prayer,

@ lmorrison:

Prayer is a bridge that connects us to God and each other. When we intercede for others, the bridge is complete. The we can watch and see the power of prayer and how God moves in all of our lives.

My experience was enjoyable. Being a first semester student in Seminary, it was intriguing to be able to converse with people all over the world. I appreciate the experience. I hate that I was unable to really be enthralled in it.
