Pray With Us

Most of us spend quite a bit of time communicating with others each day. We exchange words face to face with family, friends, and coworkers. Many of us regularly use email, cell phones, and text messaging to interact with others. Some of us still write letters to share news with family and friends both far and near.

Whatever method of communication you use, prayer is simultaneously the greatest high tech and most readily available non-technical means to get in touch with God, the Creator and Author of Life.

Requiring no batteries to recharge, wires to plug in, postage stamps to buy, or numbers to remember, prayer is simply talking to God - wherever you are, whenever you want, whatever the reason. Whether you talk out loud or silently in your head, God is listening, and He is always ready and willing to hear.

Through prayer we can praise God for who He is and what he has done. We can ask forgiveness for ourselves and make known all our hurts, concerns, needs, and wants. We can ask God to help us see and follow His plan for us.

There are no secret formulas for prayer -- no buzzwords you are required to use to gain the ear of God. What matters most is that the words you do use are heartfelt and genuine -- that they're true.

Whether you're driving to buy groceries, lying in bed, eating breakfast, or working on the computer, take time to share some true words with God, and don't forget to listen for His response.

Prayer is part of our worship at First Southern. We also have a weekly prayer meeting on Wednesdays at 6:30 PM when we gather to pray for our church, our nation, and the known needs of church members, family, friends, and acquaintances. You are welcome to join us in this time of prayer, and if you have any needs you'd like us to include in this prayer time, please call the church office or send us a message through this website.
