PRAYER CHANGES THINGS
Prayer is the means through which we communicate with God— expressing the thoughts and concerns of our hearts to Him. Having understood that God is all sufficient, it is important to take our desires and worries to Him. Philippians 4:6 says: “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.”
The persistence of a believer in prayer can change things, no matter how impossible the situation may seem. We pray to God because we know He can fix all our problems and cancel impossibilities. The Bible says that, “... The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” (James 5:16). If we must get answers, we must persist in the place of prayer.
When we pray, we must expect change. We must not pray as a chore, but with an understanding of the effectiveness of what we're doing. Mark 11:24 says: “Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.” Indeed prayer does change things. SHALOM!
