At International Community Evangelical Free Church (ICEFC), Lombard, IL, we believe in the power of prayer and its profound impact on our lives. Prayer is not just a personal conversation with God; it’s a vital part of our spiritual journey, connecting us to His will and purposes. Whether you are seeking guidance, healing, comfort, or strength, prayer can be a source of peace and hope.
Why Prayer Matters:
In a nutshell, prayer is an indispensable practice for every believer, enabling us to partner with God in His purposes, find strength in His promises, and experience the transformative power of His presence in our lives.
Prayer is the act of asking God. The Bible says in John 14:13-14 “Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do…If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.” Prayer is a powerful expression of our faith. We communicate with God through prayer, bringing our praises, confessions, and requests before Him. The Bible tells us, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God” (Philippians 4:6). We believe that God hears our prayers and responds in His perfect timing and wisdom.
The Power of Corporate Prayer:
In Acts 12, we see the incredible impact of corporate prayer when the early church gathered to pray fervently for Peter, who was imprisoned. In response to their united prayers, God miraculously delivered Peter from prison, demonstrating the power of collective intercession. James 5:16 also emphasizes this truth: “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” When we unite in prayer as a church, our collective faith and petitions can lead to extraordinary outcomes, aligning us with God’s will and witnessing His powerful work in ways beyond our expectations.
As a church, we are committed to standing with you in prayer, believing that God hears us when we pray together and works mightily on behalf of His people.
