Teach Us To Pray: The Power of United Prayer
Tuesday Oct 22, 2024
Tuesday Oct 22, 2024
Have you ever tried to start a fire with just one piece of wood? It's hard to do! But when you build a fire with several pieces, it can be roaring in no time. This is much like our prayer lives. When we're praying together with other people of faith, God shows up in power.
Psalm 133:1–3 "How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! ... For there the Lord bestows his blessing...." God's blessing's flow where His family is operating together in unity. And united prayer is one of the ways we act on God's promise!
Today, Veronica Leach, President of Community of Prayer, shares from her recent prayer experiences in Washington DC and locally around Santa Maria. Then she shares a compelling vision for the power of united prayer.
