" Lord , teach us how to pray"

We believe that prayer is the most vital ministry here on earth, the foundation of any spiritual achievement , the first  act of worship to our God . Yeshua's disciples asked him about one thing concerning His ministry : " Lord teach us how to pray " He also challenged them with a question : " Can you wait ( pray ) with me for an hour ? " this question is still one of our greatest challenge for today .

We therefore have set aside time during the week when we devote ourselves to prayer, beside the fact that we are told to " pray without ceasing " we are part of a prayer chain of 24 hours comprised of different congregations in the Tl-Aviv area.

daily  We have dedicated every day from 06:00 -10:00 am  seven days a week for a prayer chain involving many friends and family giving at least an hour a week to stand in the gap.

A weekly prayer meeting for intercessors thursday morning from 10:00 - 13:00

Monthly intercession and prayer night. the first Thursday of each month.

Every Shabbat : intercessors pray before the worship services from 7:30 - 11:00

Thank you for standing in the gap with us.

Avoiding Obstacles to Effective Prayer
James 1:5-8

Some of King David's prayers are recorded in the Psalms. There we read how he praised the Lord, confessed sin, and cried out about his troubles. He also asked God to hear his prayers and not be silent (Ps. 28:1).

We all want to pray effectively like David. To do so, we must avoid certain hindrances, such as:

• Wavering faith. Doubts about God's character or dependability diminish our trust in Him. Therefore, we must not allow feelings to dictate what we believe.

• Wrong motives (James 4:3). Petitions motivated by selfish desires won't receive an affirmative answer. God wants us to pray for His will to be done--not ours.

• Conflict in relationships. Being resentful or argumentative with others will affect communication with the Father.

• Lack of generosity (Prov. 21:13). God is displeased if we ignore people's needs or give begrudgingly to the church. He hears us asking for a blessing yet sees us refusing to obey Him in our giving (1 Tim. 6:17-19).

• Indifference (Prov. 28:9). Apathy to the Scriptures is another stumbling block. God has given us the Bible so that we might know Him and serve Him wholeheartedly. Failure to read and apply His Word consistently will diminish our ability to maintain a godly lifestyle.

To develop a strong prayer life takes effort and commitment, but the rewards are great. If your prayers have not been answered, consider which, if any, of the above issues may need correction. Then, start by personalizing the prayers you read in the Psalms or elsewhere in God's Word.
