The Power of Prayer
By D. Baverstock
“The power of prayer does not flow from us; it is not special words we say or the special way we say them or even how often we say them. The power of prayer is not based on a certain direction we face or a certain position of our bodies. The power of prayer does not come from the use of artifacts or icons or candles or beads. The power of prayer comes from the omnipotent One who hears our prayers and answers them. Prayer places us in contact with Almighty God, and we should expect almighty results, whether or not He chooses to grant our petitions or deny our requests. Whatever the answer to our prayers, the God to whom we pray is the source of the power of prayer, and He can and will answer us, according to His perfect will and timing.”

The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” – James 5:16 KJV “And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:” – 1 John 5:14-15 KJV
Let Us Pray Loving Heavenly Father, Jesus said “thy faith has made thee whole”. We ask that we have such faith in the prayers that we pray to You. In this world of turmoil and temptation we become weak and many of us find that our faith is not what it should be. We find ourselves far from you. We ask that our faith be strengthen and that our prayers be sincere. In Jesus name we your children want to return Your love that Your have for us. Amen and Amen
