House of Prayer
“We started our journey by honestly acknowledging to one another that even though we love the Lord, are serious about our relationship with Him and genuinely believe that God wants us to pray…listens to us when we pray…and answers our prayers…even though all of that is true, most of us have found that maintaining a consistent, disciplined practice of getting alone with God each day for a time of unhurried, uninterrupted prayer has, for a variety of reasons, been a real struggle. It’s not been an easy discipline to establish and maintain. ”
“The primary purpose of prayer is for us to get to know God better and to love Him more deeply. Prayer is the means by which we build a stronger and more intimate relationship with God. So, yes, maintaining a consistent habit of prayer is hard work…but it’s worth it because we get to see the promise of James 4:8 fulfilled in our lives. And what is that promise?” — Pastor Tom Marcum
James 4:8 says, “Come near to God and He will come near to you.”
