Prayer Warriors

St. Aidan's is honored to have thirty-four dedicated Prayer Warriors ready to intercede for you, your family, friends and our community in prayer. As stated in 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-17 “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” What a comfort knowing that in a twenty-four-hour day, prayers for your needs are being lifted up to our Father in Heaven. Devoting our time with God in prayer is a personal commitment. It helps us develop an intimate relationship with the Lord. This important pursuit, however, should not be viewed as an activity to be done solely for personal gain. Prayer is a language of love. Prayer is the best way to express our love for our family, friends, and community. When we pray, we hope to see the positive outcomes of our prayers. To pray for others apart from your own desires is both a responsibility and a privilege. This is what a prayer warrior needs to primarily understand. A prayer warrior fights not only his or her own spiritual battles but the spiritual battles of others as well (Ephesians 6:12). God will prevail above all. We thank the Prayer Warriors at St. Aidan’s.
