Prayer Thoughts

Deze pagina is nog niet in het beschikbaar Nederlands.

Colin Stott was GRN USA Director and Global Prayer Coordinator. He was taken to Glory in 2023, but he left us his 'Prayer Thoughts', a collection of monthly prayer articles to encourage GRN staff in their prayer lives and dealing with various practical aspects of prayer.

John Wesley once said "God does nothing but in answer to prayer".

It does seem that God has made prayer indispensable for carrying out His purposes on earth. 'Prayer Thoughts' encourages us to grow in our role as intercessors believing God rules the nations through the prayers of His people. What a privilege and responsibility we have in prayer.

Feel free to pass on any of these articles you find helpful.
