At Encounter, we believe in the power of prayer. We describe prayer as interactive communication with God in which our deepest emotions and thoughts are expressed. This includes giving thanks, giving praise, and making our requests/petitions known. Prayer is the acknowledgement that we are in great need of God. He lovingly and eagerly turns His ear toward us as we seek intimate communication with Him. Through this divine form of conversation, God graciously engages with our hearts while also revealing His.
