Christian Prayer

Have a prayer request? Send us an email to prayerrequests@trinitybeloit.org

As children of God, it is natural that we go to our loving Father and ask Him for all good things. Our Lord has promised to hear our prayers and has commanded us to pray. It is natural for Christians to pray for the needs of our neighbor as well as ourselves. The following prayer schedule helps to keep us mindful of our neighbors and their needs. It may also serve to help us keep disciplined in our prayers, for when we do not know what to pray for. Finally, this schedule helps us to realize that the whole Body of Christ prays with us, and in this case we can actually know that many other Christians are praying for these same things.

God has tenderly invited us to believe that He is our true Father, and that we are His true children, so that we may with all boldness and confidence ask Him as dear children ask their dear father:
