Prayer Chain

What is the St. Paul Email Prayer Chain?

St. Paul's email prayer chain is a Yahoo group that provides our members with another way to bring their joys and concerns to our loving Lord.  In 1 John 5:14, we are told, "This is the confidence we have in approaching God:  that if we ask anything according to His will, he hears us."  Also, in Philippians 4:6 we are told, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." 

Why Do We Have a Prayer Chain?

It is the belief of some that God is more likely to hear the prayers of many than the prayers of a single person.  However, Christians know and trust that God hears all the prayers of His believing children, whether they are lifted up by one person or 1000, and answers them in the way He knows is best.  In fact, God knows our needs even before we come to Him in prayer.  However, we at St. Paul have a prayer chain so that we might build one another up in our community of faith, and learn to "be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer" (Romans 12:12).  What better way to express our love for our brothers and sisters in Christ than to keep them in our prayers!
