Prayer Ministries

"Prayer is the simple act of having a conversation with God. It's about talking with the creator of the universe: whether aloud or in our thoughts, during special or ordinary moments, when we're on the move or before we go to bed. It's the privilege we get as His children-a direct connection to God. No voicemail messages, no call waiting."

​

Some may see prayer as a one-way conversation, or even worse, a conversation with ourselves, but studies have shown that not only does it improve our quality of life 1, it actually has the power to heal. Scientists say interactions with God through prayer give us the ability to better manage our negative emotions 2 and reduce our aggression towards others 3.

​

According to researchers Marek Jantos and Hosen Kiat (Marek Jantos and Hosen Kiat, “Prayer as medicine: how much have we learned?” in The Medical Journal of Australia, 2007.), “[Prayer] should be recognized as an important resource for coping with pain and illness and improving health and general well-being.” The Bible even promises that when we pray, we will experience “the peace of God, which transcends all understanding (Philippians 4:7).”

​

But Seventh-day Adventists don’t just pray for the sake of our health and well-being. As a Christian author, Ellen White wrote, “Prayer is the opening of the heart to God as to a friend.”

​

It is what fuels and develops our relationship with Him, and when we take time to speak directly with God, we discover that He takes the time to reply and transform us with His love." - General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists
