I Believe In The Power Of Prayer

I BELIEVE in the Power of Prayer.

Isn’t it wonderful that God created prayer as a primary method of putting us into personal contact with Him any day or night, any hour of the day? He is always there.  He’s always with you and always ready to hear our prayer. Even when you cannot mouth the words, when your heart is breaking and your voice just can’t pray a prayer, God hears your prayer from your heart.

Prayer should be the key of the day and the lock of the night.

Prayer is one of those things that is a little mysterious even though I strongly believe in it.  Because prayer is an invisible, intangible power, people are often quick to dismiss it.  They downplay it and devalue its critical importance.  That is a big mistake.  When we choose to believe that God won’t answer our prayers or that He isn’t listening, we invite Satan into our lives, into our situation that we should be praying about.

Prayer is our superpower that can be used in all areas of our lives.  Even when you are in a spiritual rut.

Satan wages war against children of God.  He attacks your mind, your emotions, your spirit, your heart and your future.  He will try to make you believe that prayer won’t work, that God isn’t listening.  But Satan is a liar.

I grew up in a home that depended on the power of prayer.  I’ve already written to you some about my grandmother’s prayers, how she prayed for everyone and everything.  We all did.  I grew up being taught that prayer changes things.  That prayer can save lives, it can soften a hard heart, it can restore faith and hope.  And prayer has helped shape me into who I am today.  Without prayer by my grandmother, mother and other family members, I wouldn’t be here today.

Sending prayerful blessings from Sterrett, Alabama!
