Committed to Prayer

The early church was built on prayer. Acts 2:42 emphasizes that they were “devoted…to prayer.”
 
Prayer was not a last resort—it was their first response. It was woven into the fabric of their life together. They prayed when they were afraid, when they were bold, when they needed direction, and when they praised God for His faithfulness.
 
Prayer is both a conversation and a surrender. It’s how we stay aligned with God’s will and empowered for His work. The early church knew they couldn’t rely on their strength—they needed divine help. So they met, prayed, and moved forward in unity.

Sometimes prayer feels hard. We may doubt its effectiveness, feel distracted, or wonder if God hears us. But Scripture assures us that He does.

If we want to be a healthy church, we must become a praying people—individually and together. Prayer draws us close to God and one another. It changes us, even when our circumstances don’t.
 
Scripture:
Colossians 4:2 - Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving.
 
Application:
Set aside intentional time today to pray for your church, your leaders, and your spiritual growth.
Ask someone how you can pray for them—and do it.
 
Prayer:
Father, help me to develop a deeper life of prayer. Teach me to come to You with honesty, expectation, and surrender. Use prayer to change my heart and align me with Your will. Amen.
