Prayer can be described using three critical components.  First, prayer is a relationship between our loving and caring heavenly Father and us, His children. God invites us to a personal relationship.  He desires a deeper, intimate relationship with us – Holy and Consecrated.

A relationship can be defined as “a state of connectedness between people (especially an emotional connection)” as suggested by www.vocabulary.com  This element of prayer is emphasized in James 4:8, “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”

Prayer: Lord, deepen the relationship between us.  Grow our connectedness to one another as I intentionally spend time with you each day. Amen

Prayer Watch International is excited to offer a new blog series which highlights Prayer School IA – Face to Face with God by Pastor Bjørn Pedersen.  These excerpts are brief snapshots from the 15 lessons of this Prayer School and from Pastor Bjørn’s book, Face to Face With God in Your Church: Establishing a Prayer Ministry. 

The fact that the Bible contains about 700 prayers is irrefutable evidence of just how important God feels prayer is.  We invite you to join us in the journey into a deeper prayer life for you as well as for your surrounding community.
