“The Wonderful Power of Prayer”
 
“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.     Philippians  4:6,7

Christians need help!  Psalm 34:17 wonderfully states,  “The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles” Christians need help every day, in overcoming the weaknesses of the flesh, in facing and conquering the temptations of life and in meeting the needs of our loved ones.  In this ever-changing world we often face problems beyond our wisdom and knowledge to handle.  Prayer is earthly permission for unbridled heavenly intervention into a believer's life.
 
“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”      Is. 40:31
 
Christians Have Help! All you need, he will supply. Remember you are His child and He has promised to supply your every need according to His riches in heaven.  We need submission to God and His plan. Pray!  We need strength to fight sin, Satan and self. Pray! Our great nation is at a crossroads. One way leads to life and morality; the other to death and immorality. Pray! We need our lost loved ones saved. All believers should have, scheduled, and secluded seasons of fervent prayer. Prayer will change you and prayer will change those around you.

• Prayer is our Touch with God. Every believer can live in touch with God by prayer. Beloved we are weak, limited, ineffective Christians without the all-encircling touch of God that prayer brings.
  
• Prayer is the Key to God’s Blessing. “Ye have not, because ye ask not” (James 4:2) There can be no victory in life, no Christ-likeness, no fullness of the Spirit, without prayer. Prayer is essential to victorious Christian living.
  
• Prayer is Central to Winning the Lost. The measure with which we pray will determine the measure of winning our unsaved loved ones to Christ. Prayer means warfare and every time we pray we possess more of the enemy’s ground. Prayer will make a difference in time and eternity. Just do it!
