PRAYER IN THE EASTERN CHURCH PERSPECTIVE
The western style of prayers and sermons are logically gracious, benevolent and emotionally satisfying. The decisions we make in our life by our own will power will not suffice for solving our problems in our spiritual life. The Eastern Church prayer patterns not only lead us to the goal of spiritual life and bring about humility for the obedience to God but also that in itself is the step-by-step way to reach the spiritual goal of contemplation by the Grace of God. The prayer, fasting and worship lead us for a guard of the mind and internal purification.

BENEDICTION MESSAGE FOR PRAYER BOOK - MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR YOU
The healing power of faithful prayers is enormous. There are many who get healing from serious illness by the faith, hope and love in Lord Jesus Christ. This small prayer book prepared out of the life experience of George Achen and Kochamma is very delightful. This book as collection of appeasing words from Bible and early church documents, pertinent portions from Gospel etc., put all together is very useful for the sick. I extend all blessings for this attempt of creation of this prayer book.
