Many people have a favorite place to pray outside of their place of worship.  For some it may be a quiet room, or outdoors someplace beautiful and secluded, or maybe even in the car.  Increasingly, though, people pray online.  OurPrayer, part of Guideposts' Ruth Stafford Peale Prayer Power Network, has launched a dynamic new site to answer that need and provide more people with more ways to enrich their prayer life online at www.OurPrayer.org

"It is our desire to inspire and unite the people visiting OurPrayer.org," said Reverend  Dr. Peola Hicks, Guideposts Prayer Department Manager, "and to become a global community of praying people maximizing the proven power of prayer...all while maintaining our unique commitment to pray by name and need for each individual request received.   We are greatly expanding our prayer ministry to be able to help many more people from all walks of life so each can enrich their personal prayer life.  Free to join and easy to use, OurPrayer.org provides new ways to use technology for prayer, devotion and spiritual intimacy."  Reverend Hicks added, "The internet hasn't really changed what people do, just how we do it.  It's truly transformed the ability to reach out and connect with others around the world. Our focus is reaching out and connecting others to God through prayer. For with God nothing will be impossible." (Luke 1:37)

According to Reverend Dr. Pablo Diaz, Guideposts Vice President of Ministries, "Prayer is the greatest contribution we can offer one another.  It is a strong and meaningful exercise of love, faith, and hope.  We welcome all to join us as OurPrayer transforms the world through prayer."

OurPrayer.org is a faith-filled community brimming with inspiring devotionals, answered prayer, uplifting articles, and much more.  The most innovative and unique features on the new site aim to make OurPrayer.org the premiere destination for online prayer and prayer community. Using state-of-the-art social networking technology, there are simple, user-friendly tools to form online prayer groups with friends, family, whole church congregations, and even people anywhere in the world.  There are easy and creative ways individuals can have personalized prayer pages where people can come to get to know each other, create prayer blogs or keep an online spiritual journal. OurPrayer.org features purpose-driven content, available in multi-media formats, and is poised to be the most technologically advanced and accessible worldwide prayer ministry in history.
