prayer ministry

A

t Riverside we feel that prayer is central to the vitality of a believer's life.

Why Pray?

• Asked of God
  And so it is with prayer - keep on asking and you will keep on getting; keep on looking and you will keep on finding; knock and the door will be opened. Everyone who seek, find; and the door is opened to everyone who knocks. [Luke 11:9-10]
• Modeled by Jesus
  Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? [Mark 12:17]
• Practiced by the disciples
  But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. [Acts 6:4]
• Moves God
  And the word of God increased; and the number of disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith. [Acts 6:7]
  If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. [II Chronicles 7:14]

  And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honored, all members rejoice with it. [1 Corinthians 13:26]
