The Power of Prayer

"When a believing person prays, great things happen"  -- James 5:16 / NCV

"The power of prayer", these words are so familiar, yet sometimes we forget what they mean. Prayer is a powerful tool for communicating with our Creator; it is an opportunity to commune with  the Giver of all things good.  Prayer helps us find strength for today and hope for the future.  Prayer is not a thing to be taken lightly or to be used infrequently.

The quality of your spiritual life will be in direct proportion to the quality of your prayer life.  Prayer changes things, and it changes you.  Today, instead of turning things over in your mind, turn them over to God in prayer. Instead of worrying about your next decision, ask God to lead the way.  Pray constantly about things great and small. God is listening, and He wants to hear from you now.

Lord, let us raise our hopes and our dreams, our worries and our fears to You.  Let us be a worthy example to family and friends, showing them the importance and the power of prayer. Let us take everything to You in prayer, and when we do, let us trust in Your answers.
