Lecrae: ‘Prayer Is Everything’
By Movieguide® Contributor
Lecrae is partnering with the Christian app Pray.com in an effort to remind the world how important prayer is in our lives.
“Prayer is everything,” he said in an interview with The Christian Post. “I’m a firm believer that God is near the brokenhearted. So when you’re going through tough times, God is near. I have a little model of the temple that existed in Israel. And I have [it] because it’s a reminder that this is how serious the believers in God took their faith that they would build this temple, and they believed His presence was felt in this temple.
“For me now, knowing that I’m the temple and the Spirit of God lives in me, I can access God at any given moment. It’s a massive thing,” Lecrae continued. “That’s been huge for me. Being able to do that is massive. So prayer is super important.”
The artist said that the app does “some impactful work” to help those in need.
“They really take their time and energy to make sure the resources are right,” he said. “We have similar visions; they want to do good in this world. There are narrated stories. I did one called ‘Hope in a Dark World.’ It’s a bedtime Bible story, so I’m going to read you to sleep. And [there are] just a ton of different things along those lines that help parents and families share lessons with their kids about having faith in tough times.”
“It’s an opportunity for you to pray; it’s an opportunity for you to talk [to God], because some people don’t even know where to begin,” Lecrae explained. “I like the verse that says the Spirit intercedes for us because sometimes we don’t even know where to start. This app is a good opportunity to just say, ‘Hey, let us pray with you. Let us pray for you. Let us give you some things to think through.’”
In addition to his partnership with Pray.com, Lecrae is also touring, working on new music, and writing two books. The artist said that he doesn’t take any of it for granted.
“I’m grateful, every minute is a blessing to just be able to be a voice in this way and I don’t want to take a single minute for granted,” Lecrae concluded. “I’m trying to celebrate more. I don’t celebrate enough, and so just trying to be like, ‘Man, God, thank you for these little milestones and just being grateful for that.”
