We hope and believe that at some point in your Christian walk you have experienced the blessings of prayer and that this has encouraged you to continue to develop a life of prayer. An exciting component of the Christian's life is the privilege to intercede in prayer for individuals and for the concerns that affect us.
Each of you should look not only to your own interests,
but also to the interests of others.
- Philippians 2:4
God has called us to lift one another up in prayer. Isaiah 61:1-5 encourages us as a body of believers to minister to those who are hurting emotionally, spiritually, or physically. It is our desire at Northside Church to pray for those who are in such a crisis. Also, we are grateful for the prayer support for Northside, its staff, volunteers, and her missions for the Kingdom of Christ. In addition, we need to intercede for our political government and her leaders. There are several ways you can join NCC in volunteering to pray for such areas.
Submit a Prayer Request
If you have a prayer request, please email the church at . You can also call the church office 24 hours a day, seven days a week at 919-261-8929 to submit your prayer concern.

Different Areas to Remember When Praying
We have provided some suggested areas to remember when praying. There are also scriptures listed that you can use during your prayer time.
The key to effective prayer is a pure heart before God. Take a few minutes to ask the Holy Spirit to search your heart and reveal any unconfessed sin or wrong attitudes that would hinder your time of prayer.
