Prayer is simply talking with God. It is spending time with someone who loves you.
In time, we can learn to move through this life in one long, extended conversation with God. In constant connection. Talking to God. And your God talking to you.

There is no right or wrong way to pray.
We can pray at any time, in any place, about anything that is on our mind.
We don’t have to be in church, use special words or close our eyes if we don’t want to.
All that really matters is that we come before God with our whole hearts, as honestly and consistently as we can.
The life-changing and the seemingly insignificant, the personal and the public, in celebration and in heartbreak. God wants us to share it all with him.
He is listening and he wants to hear from us.
Prayer is a response to a loving God who always sees you and is always reaching out to you with his love and grace. He longs to walk and talk with you, to grow deeper in relationship with you.

India South Western
Prayer requests
Please pray for wisdom and provision as the territory navigates significant financial challenges following the suspension of the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA). Ask God to provide creative and sustainable solutions to support ongoing ministry.
A shortage of candidates for Salvation Army officership is a serious concern for the territory. For many reasons, there are less young people stepping forward. Please pray that all Salvationists in the India South Western Territory will be responsive to God’s call on their lives and that those who are called to Salvation Army officership will respond with courage and faith too.
Unemployment continues to be a big issue in Kerala with few job vacancies available and a declining number of job opportunities in the government sector for Christians. Pray for new pathways to employment, economic stability and hope for those seeking work.
In certain parts of the state, Christians are facing religious opposition because of their faith. Pray that Salvationists will stand firm, remain bold in their witness, and be strengthened in the face of uncertainty and resistance.
Even amid these challenges, we give thanks. We are deeply grateful for faithful leadership, committed Salvationists and the resources God has already provided. Let us thank God for his continued presence and provision as we work together toward a hopeful future.
