What does the Bible tell us about praying together

Why Pray Together

The Bible emphasizes the importance and power of praying together as a community of believers. Here are several passages that highlight this concept:

Matthew 18:19-20 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

 This verse underscores the power of collective prayer and the presence of Jesus among believers who come together in His name.

Acts 1:14 “They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.”

 The early Christians are depicted as being united in prayer, highlighting the importance of communal prayer in the life of the early church.

Acts 2:42 “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.”

Prayer is one of the foundational practices of the early church, along with teaching and fellowship.
