One of the wonderful blessings we have as Christians is our privilege to talk directly to the Lord in prayer and receive answers. It makes no difference whether we're praying corporately as a group or as individuals; Jesus said "..Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it to you... ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full" What a blessed invitation! You have the right to pray directly to the Father in the Name of Jesus, and make request of Him concerning the changes you want in your life, and receive answers. Sadly, some don't have the confidence in their own prayers, so they look to others to pray for them. But blessed be God: there's no situation that's greater than the Name of Jesus. The next time you kneel or lift your hands in prayer, do so with faith, confidence and boldness, for you're heard of the Father.
