Prayer is the greatest tool the Christian has. It’s through prayer that we make our petitions known to God.
We will never be any stronger spiritually than our prayer life allows. It’s been said that seven days without prayer makes one weak.
Matthew 7:7-8 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
God will reward the faithful and fervent prayers with fulfillment. His answer may not be what we expect, but it will always be what we need.
He may not answer the first time we pray. In fact, He may even deny our request; but remember, when God says no, He has a better yes.
