Uniting across borders through prayer

We often think of prayer as private: our quiet moment with God. But throughout the Bible, prayer is also communal. It is something believers do together, and for one another. Jesus himself promised, “Where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them” (Matthew 18:20). Prayer, in this sense, is not only an act of faith; it is a bond. It connects believers who may never meet, uniting them in shared hope, shared dependence and shared trust in God.
