EKELE / DAILY PRAYER
Draw near to God, and God will draw near to you. James 4: 8
Prayer is our way of talking with God. It can be silent or vocal, spoken or sung, formal or informal. We express thanks for all God has done, we ask for forgiveness, we tell God our needs, and renew our commitment to follow the path that God offers to us.
So talk to God right now. God is always listening.
Prayer brings you closer to God.
Prayer can help you overcome temptation.
Prayer can calm you in times of trouble.
Praying daily can give you a sense of peace.
