Prayer Changes Things

All About Prayer
What is Prayer?
“I pray because I can’t help myself. I pray because I am helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time – waking and sleeping. It does not change God- it changes me.” - C.S. Lewis
Prayer is simply a conversation between us and God. It is our opportunity to tell God our
deepest secrets and desires, to confess our sins, ask His forgiveness, thank him and to pray
on behalf of others. Prayer is a time to give God praise for who He is and all He does. Prayer
is also God’s opportunity to speak to us. Those feelings of calm and comfort are God’s telling
us He is present.
And when we stop talking for a while after telling God what is on our heart
and mind, He will answer by placing Godly thoughts in our minds, or by answering us
through other people, circumstances, or by giving us the decisions and choices we need to
make.
Again…prayer is conversation and just like there are several different ‘types’ of conversation,
there are different types of prayer. Sometimes our prayers are short, sweet, and to the point.
Sometimes they are general in nature; something for everyone to hear. And then there are
those prayers that are personal and private—reserved for only you and God.

BREAKTHROUGHS, OVERCOMING, AND RESTORATION
"The reality is, my prayers don't change God. But, I am convinced prayer changes me. Praying boldly boots me out
of that stale place of religious habit into authentic connection with God Himself.” - Lysa TerKeurst
RENEWING YOUR COMMITMENT (THE CREED)
I believe in God the Father, Creator of heaven and earth, who sent His only begotten Son because of His love for us. I
believe in Jesus Christ, my personal Lord and Savior who came to the world and became flesh. I believe in the power of
His death and resurrection that brought forth my salvation. By His stripes, I was healed of my transgressions and by his
blood I was forgiven of all my sins. I have been crucified with Christ. Therefore, it is no longer I who live, but Christ
within me. I am confident that I will live a life in eternity because Jesus overcame death. I am victorious, and I am
conqueror because of Jesus’ victory. I believe in the Holy Spirit, whom the Father has sent to be His advocate and my
guide. I renew my covenant with the Godhead today, acknowledging that God is one in three persons – the Father, the
Son, and the Holy Spirit. I vow to be a faithful servant of God today, tomorrow, and for all eternity, in Jesus’ Name.
