The Power Of Prayer

Many prayer requests stream through Facebook, Twitter, and emails because people know that God answers prayer.

It is the closet of prayer that power descends upon the preacher. It is the prayer of a mother that protects her son in a war a thousand miles away. It is the prayer of the church that meets the need of the missionary in the foreign field. May we never neglect or downplay the enormous power of prayer.

Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints:

So, pray when the preachers preach, the teachers teach, the singers sing, and the witnesses witness. Pray that God will prepare hearts and touch lives. Pray for healing of the sick and soul.

Don't be discouraged if your faith-believing prayers are not answered quickly. Sometimes God says, "Yes!" Sometimes He says, "No!" Sometimes He says, "Wait!" Waiting is the hardest.

The One Who walks on the waves is the One Who holds your hand. Take your burdens to The Lord and leave them there.
