Many people struggle with knowing how to pray or how to pray better or how to make prayer more meaningful. I believe the solution to those needs is within the pages of the Bible, and this website brings those points together for you.
I have been sharing this message of prayer since 1990 through revivals, seminars, radio programs, school chapels, pastoral counseling, and even as a Prayer Ministry Director with both the Adventist and Southern Baptist denominations.
I believe that prayer is the one Christian discipline that is the most important, yet rarely taught. Prayer is the first means of believing in Jesus Christ as the Savior for our sins. Prayer is the means whereby we seek and freely receive forgiveness, grace, and guidance for life. Prayer is the branch that keeps us connected and growing in the vine of our faith.
Martin Luther, the great Protestant reformer, once said “To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.”
Prayer is the very oxygen that our faith needs to live, grow, and thrive as Christians and in our relationship with our Lord. So if your soul is feeling a bit slow, if you are lacking confidence in your future, or realize your spirituality is fading away, I’m praying for you and hoping that the message of this website will help.
Back in the early 1960’s an editor of a denominational publication placed a quote from an unknown author among a series of articles on the topic of prayer. I believe it sums up our need for prayer and offers some motivation to pray…
“Prayer is the answer to every problem in life! It puts us in tune with the divine wisdom which knows how to adjust everything perfectly. So often we do not pray in certain situations because from our standpoint the outlook is hopeless, but nothing is impossible with God. Nothing is so entangled that it can not be remedied. No human relationship is too strained for God to bring about reconciliation and understanding. No habit is so deep rooted that it cannot be overcome. No mind is so dull that it cannot be made brilliant. No one is so ill that he cannot be healed. Whatever we need if we trust God he can supply it. If anything is causing worry or anxiety let us stop rehearsing the difficulty and trust in God for healing, love, and power.”
This website is dedicated to helping you find prayer as the answer to your needs in life. The principles and the pages are taken from my book “How to Pray: A Pocket Guide to the Four Principles of Prayer Taught by Jesus.”
Blessings of Christ to you!
Steve Durkac,
Pastor
