Living Stones Christian Church - East Bay

The rich and poor need each other

Prayer trains us to depend on God for our daily needs with simplicity, trust, and freedom from anxiety.

Prayer aligns us to God's will, teaching us trust and surrender rather than control.

Panel featuring various congregants sharing about how prayer is both a challenge and a gift

God never responds to our needs with divine irritation, so we respond to interruptions of the needy with grace and compassion.

We pray for God's kingdom to come—aligning our desires with Jesus' reign of healing, justice, reconciliation, and peace.

Prayer begins with worship—aligning our hearts to honor God above all else.

Prayer begins with knowing God as Father, which heals our distorted images of God (and fathers) and reorients our identity as His beloved children.

The Lord's Prayer draws us into intimacy with God and forms us into people aligned with His heart and kingdom.

Even in weakness, suffering, and death, God's resurrection power shines through us like treasure in jars of clay. Hope is not found in what is seen, but in the unseen promise of glory.
