The Bible speaks often of prayer. In the New Testament, the Lord Jesus Christ himself instructs the Disciple on the proper way to pray. This is also where we find the most important Christian prayer in the history of Christianity: the Lord's Prayer.
Every Sunday in churches around the world you will find Christians reciting the Lord's Prayer in unison. This is a powerful means not only of personal communication with Christ but a powerful statement of the unity of all believers. This is one of the most powerful statements of Christian prayer and it is made every Sunday throughout the world.
The power of Christian prayer is not just understood by Christians. Scientists have also begun to understand the power of Christian prayer. Numerous studies have been done and scientists have determined that prayer does work in a very special way. Even the best neuroscientists in the world do not fully understand what is happening when people are praying, but they know that something is happening, suggesting a sort of hard-wiring that God has put into our brains in order to facilitate Christian prayer.
Studies have also showed that Christian prayer can help in Christian healing. Numerous studies have shown that praying for individuals who are sick as well as prayer done by the sick themselves does promote healing. Scientists are still at a loss to explain why this is, but Christians the world over know exactly what the reason is. It is the power of God being displayed in our lives. God is still ruler over this world, and he shows us his power through Christian prayer.
Faith healers have also taken the power of prayer and Christian prayer healing to a new level. While many, even Christians are skeptical of faith healers, there have been many stories of people who were sick, who could not walk, who could not see and who have gone to faith healers and received healing. The fact is that there are many stories that attest to these facts. Jesus Christ himself said that one of the signs and wonders that would follow believers throughout the world was the Christian healing of the sick.
Christian prayer is one of the most important and intimate aspects of our relationship with Jesus Christ and the Triune Godhead. It is a wonderful blessing that the Lord has bestowed among all humanity. Everyone the world over is able to participate in Christian prayer. The only necessity is that the person accepts the power of Jesus into his life and into his heart, and accepts Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior. God promises that he will provide for his followers, and this is a promise that the Lord has kept.
