| Personal prayer time is what gets you closer to God and strengthens your walk and your spirit. |
To the Christian Disciple prayer needs to be the focal point of our life, it
is through prayer in fact we become Christian Disciples, Secure our
salvation, and speak to our Father in Heaven. Little or no prayer will
weaken us to the point of ineffectiveness and disconnection from God
and His power in our lives. We must continually Communicate with our
God and Father.
