Topeka Community of Christ Prayer Ministry

The Power of Prayer 🙏
“Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”  
​Philippians 4:6-7 NRSV
The Topeka Community of Christ congregation believes in the power of prayer and we would like to pray for you in your time of need.
 
Our Prayer Ministry maintains a list of concerns, submitted by our friends and members. We circulate this list of concerns and prayer requests to members of our congregation, weekly by email, so they may pray for those in their time of need.
 
​We do not publish the prayer list on our website or social media accounts. 
 
🙏 We believe that prayers offered to God are heard. 
 
🙏 We believe that they can help us in managing our lives. 
 
🙏 We believe that when our physical, emotional and temporal resources are exhausted, we can ask God for help, sustenance and for guidance.  
 
🙏 We encourage you to offer up your concerns for prayer, including prayer for healing of a friend or family member.
 
 This ministry is open to anyone who needs it, regardless of their religious affiliation or background.

​The Topeka Community of Christ congregation believes that everyone should have access to prayer and the support of a faith community, regardless of their circumstances.​
​
Our Online Prayer Ministry is designed to make it easy for everyone to connect with us and receive the spiritual support they need. 
When you're going through difficult times, be it illness, grief, a faith crisis, financial stress, a relationship problem or maybe a broken heart, finding the strength to begin your healing process may seem like too much for one person to bear. We encourage you to offer up your concerns for prayer.

Intercessory Prayer 🙏
(Praying for Others)
​Intercessory prayer is a special type of prayer where an individual prays on behalf of others. It involves seeking God's intervention and help for the needs of others.
 
Intercessory prayer is an act of love and compassion where one person selflessly dedicates their time and energy to pray for the well-being of others. It is a powerful tool that has been used for centuries to help people in times of need.

The benefits of prayer are multifaceted and can have a profound impact on an individual's overall well-being and quality of life. Whether done individually or in a communal setting, prayer offers a range of positive effects that can nurture the mind, body, and spirit.
