Prayer is essential to our growth and maturity, both individual and corporately. Our rally cry should be "My 1st Priority is Prayer." In every situation, whether good or bad, we should try to pray before we act. Many times people act first and then want God to bail them out of that situation, but prayer should be our first response, not our last resort.

Understanding the necessity of prayer is not enough. In order for it to become a part of life, it needs to become something we look forward to doing. Over the years, statistically, most people don't enjoy prayer because they have never been taught how to pray. We have enclosed Scripture and outlines for you to simply read as your prayer to God and for others, and yourself.

This guide is designed to make prayer more personal. When you discover the beauty of daily conversation with Him, you'll experience the presence of God that will change your life. When believers learn and understand how to pray, prayer becomes a part of everyday life.

The goal of fasting is to draw near to God. It hits the reset button of our soul and renews us from the inside out. Fasting enables us to celebrate the goodness and mercy of God. It prepares our hearts for all the good things God desires to bring into our lives. When deciding on a fast, we encourage you to seek God in prayer and follow what the Holy Spirit leads you to do.
