TENS OF millions of us in the UK are saying "I need to pray". And millions of those are young people.

Research tells us that it's a fact that UK teens and twenties are into prayer. And most of it is prayer outside official religion.

How and where we pray isn't important. And many of us are unsure as to whom we pray. So we just pray to our concept of God, someone who creates and commands, someone bigger than we are, whose help we need.

Of course some will know Him, as we in Jesus Army do, as the Father of Jesus Christ, but for many of us He is our big, mysterious, spiritual friend.

Praying brings us release. We pour out our loneliness, our fears, our worries, our sins, our longings, our sorrows, our complaints, our anger and our weaknesses. We somehow feel "God" understands, forgives, supports and loves us. Praying makes a difference.

None of this is at all surprising. It is well known that the human soul has a void in it which only God can fill.

In the Jesus Army we pray in the name of Jesus Christ. He promised that things would happen if we prayed in faith in His name.

Our experience is that things do happen - supernatural things. Yes, we pray on our own. But we also pray with others. And we can pray with you.
