Pathway firmly believes in two profound realities that compel us to pray. First, we believe “apart from Christ we can do nothing” (John 15:5). Whatever mission or strategy we may contrive will fail if we operate in our own strength. Second, “whoever abides in Christ, and He in them, bears much fruit” (John 15:5). While we can do nothing in our own strength, Christ accomplishes His purpose through us as we abide in Him. Prayer is the evidence of that abiding. Our power to carry out Pathway's strategy to participate in the mission of God rests not in our own power but in the power of God, and so we pray.
