PRAYER

HighRidge Prayer

At HighRidge Church, we believe in the transformative power of prayer. Prayer is the heartbeat of our community, a sacred conversation with God that nurtures our faith, brings comfort in times of need, and empowers us to face life's challenges. Through prayer, we connect with God's infinite wisdom and love, seeking His guidance and surrendering our worries. We encourage you to embrace prayer as a daily practice, whether in personal devotion or as part of our collective worship. As we pray, we witness the remarkable ways God moves in our lives and our community, bringing healing, hope, and a deeper sense of purpose. Join us in experiencing the power of prayer at HighRidge Church.

How to Pray?

The A.C.T.S. prayer model:

Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication
is a great way to begin a daily practice of prayer.

 

Adoration

Fills our hearts with worship and praise for God
and humbles our souls in his presence.

 

Confession

Helps us release the weight of sin and burdens
to experience His peace, love, and joy.

 

Thanksgiving

Keeps us mindful of His goodness and grateful
for His faithfulness and many blessings.

 

Supplication

Is our opportunity to ask God for His help, guidance,
and provision for ourselves and others.
