“Prayer is a way of language practiced in the presence of God in which we become more than ourselves while remaining ourselves.” ― Eugene Peterson

Prayer is an ACT of FAITH.

“This proves that baptism, where it answers to its ideal, is not a mere empty sign, but a means of spiritual transference from the state of legal condemnation to that of living union with Christ, and of sonship through Him in relation to God (Ro 13:14). Christ alone can, by baptizing with His Spirit, make the inward grace correspond to the outward sign. But as He promises the blessing in the faithful use of the means, the Church has rightly presumed, in charity, that such is the case, nothing appearing to the contrary.” - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

1) Are you clothed with Christ and filled with His Spirit? Are you a Christ follower?

2) Are you praying? Prayer is the first way to embody your faith. You can't pray faith-filled prayers and then not follow Jesus, share Jesus with others, and love His bride, the church. Can’t do it!
