Prayer is the lifeline that connects us to the divine presence, a sacred communion where we set aside pride, find renewed strength, and entrust our hearts to God. It is a time to humbly bring our needs before the Lord, embracing the grace of dependence on Him. For Christians, prayer is not just an act but a declaration of faith and hope, a way to draw close to God and align with His will. It is the beautiful privilege of calling on the name of the Father, through Jesus Christ, who hears us with love and responds with grace.
As it is written:
"If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land."
(2 Chronicles 7:14)
At Allen Chapel AME Church, we believe in the power of prayer—a community small enough to walk alongside you in your faith journey and large enough to witness the abundant growth that comes from seeking God together.
