WELCOME TO THE YOUTH MINISTRY TEAM’S 10 DAYS OF PRAYER. WE ARE GLAD YOU ARE HERE. LET’S GROW TOGETHER ON THIS JOURNEY OF PRAYER AND FAITH.

You might ask, “What is prayer, anyway? Why is it important?”

Consider this...

Prayer is talking to God as your confidant. Through prayer, He can become your closest friend as Abraham “was called the friend of God” (James 2:23, NKJV).

What is the importance of prayer?

Prayer opens communication with God. We human beings are born into a world that is ruled by the devil, who is described as “the god of this world” (2 Corinthians 4:4, NKJV).

What should you pray for?

First, God gives us great counsel for our priorities in life - “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33

This means:

“The people who listened to the words of Christ were still anxiously watching for some announcement of the earthly kingdom. While Jesus was opening to them the treasures of heaven, the question uppermost in many minds was, How will a connection with Him advance our prospects in the world? Jesus shows that in making the things of the world their supreme anxiety they were like the heathen nations about them....

“All these things,” said Jesus, “do the nations of the world seek after” (Luke 12:30).... I have come to open to you the kingdom of love and righteousness and peace. Open your hearts to receive this kingdom, and make its service your highest interest. Though it is a spiritual kingdom, fear not that your needs for this life will be uncared for....

Jesus does not release us from the necessity of effort, but He teaches that we are to make Him first and last and best in everything. We are to engage in no business, follow no pursuit, seek no pleasure, that would hinder the outworking of His righteousness in our character and life. Whatever we do is to be done heartily, as unto the Lord.

Elmshaven is a historic house museum at 125 Glass Mountain Lane in St. Helena, California, United States. Also known as Ellen White House or Robert Pratt Place, it was the home of Ellen G. White from 1900 until her death in 1915.

The Youth Ministry Team will be leading a weekend-long field trip to this historical sight. More information to come.
