JOHN

Good Morning! I’m John Branning the Lead Pastor of
Central United Methodist Church. Today we celebrate the
World Day of Prayer. From the time that I can first
remember until today, I am reminded of the powerful
prayers of the righteous men and women who have been a
part of my life.

Prayer is not only a way in which we as believers petition
God for answers or actions. It is also a way in which God
reveals himself. There are times that we feel his hand upon
us as we pray. There are times we can hear in our very
soul the still, small voice of God telling us to continue on.

The disciples of Jesus never asked him to teach them to
preach or to build churches, but they did ask him how to
pray. They understood the importance and necessity of
connecting their heart, soul, and mind to God.

I hope you are a person of prayer, and if you are, then join
with Christians all over the world as we pray for God’s
creation.
