Prayer Request

Prayer is communicating with the Father through the authority of Christ Jesus with help from the Holy Spirit. The heart of our Heavenly Father is to be in close relationship with His children and prayer is designed to do just that – Bring us closer and closer to Him. God desires to hear from you and so do we! Through prayer, love on the Father and make your requests known! ~ Philippians 4:6-7
