According to Christ’s words as recorded in Matthew 18:18-20, when we open a Christian gathering, we can be sure of one thing – Jesus is present with us. Even if there’s just two of us! And when we agree together in our prayers, God “goes into action” – He is eager to listen to us. So opening a meeting in prayer can be a remarkably important stage in the service or get together, for it reminds us of these important truths – that God is with us and that God is for us.
