Welcome!

Thank you for joining The Casting Call! I am so excited about what God is doing and I hope that you are too!!

The Bible instructs us to pray without ceasing and in these days and times the need for prayer is so evident. Of course one on one time with our King is essential to our very existence but one cannot overlook the benefits of group prayer. I think one of the greatest benefits is hearing that others are facing challenges in life, just like I am. As difficult as these challenges are for me, so it is with others. Prayer is personal and we don't always get to see another person's vulnerability like we do during prayer. Group prayer allows you to see and hear your brothers and sisters unguarded. You can hear their cries as well as their praises. That to me is amazing and lets me know that I am not alone. Another benefit is witnessing an answered prayer. Not only can you rejoice with your brother or sister, but you can be assured that your answer is on its way. Hallelujah! How awesome is that? The benefits are endless but I'll share one more. Group prayer has incited a strong desire to strengthen my own prayer regimen. It has shown me how to pray, encouraged me to pray more and has given me the assurance that God is there and He cares.

There are many scriptures supporting corporate prayer and I've listed some of them below. Please read them when you can. If you haven't already, give group prayer a try. I promise you will be blessed. Be sure to stop by our blog and let us know how you've been blessed by corporate prayer - especially if it's The Casting Call!!


Love Always,
