THE POWER OF PRAYER
It has been said that,
"Seven days without prayer,
makes one weak."
Sometimes you hear someone say,
"We've done all we can.
The only thing we can do now is pray."
Prayer really should be our first resort
rather than our last resort.
Jesus gave us the Lord's Prayer,
as a model prayer
and Jesus himself
often went off to pray,
setting an example
for us to do the same.
In Matthew 14:23, it says,
"And when He had sent the multitudes away,
He went up into a mountain apart to pray:
and when the evening was come,
he was there alone." (KJV)
If Jesus needed to go off and pray,
how much more do we need to?
Praying should not be something
we do out of duty and routine.
Prayer is talking
and listening to our loving,
all knowing, heavenly Father.
The book of James tells us
to pray for wisdom
when we don't know what to do (James 1:5).
In Philippians 4:6,7,
prayer is connected with receiving God's peace.
In Ephesians 6:18,
prayer is a very important part
of battling the forces of evil.
We are also told
to pray for those in Authority
over us
(I Timothy 2:1,2).
Prayer shows our dependence on God,
His power and His wisdom.
Prayer is powerful and so important.
Studies have been done
in the medical field
showing the power of prayers.
They used two groups of people
to observe the difference between
the group that was being prayed for
and the group that wasn't.
There was a marked difference
in the recovery of those
who were
being prayed for,
and they weren't even told
that they were being prayed for.
Most hospitals realize
the importance of prayer
in the healing process
for their patients,
and welcome pastors and chaplains
to be a part of the
healing team.
It has been said that,
"If you are too busy for God,
you are too busy."
In the midst of our busyness
let's remember how much we need God
and need prayer
and make a daily practice
and our first resort
instead of our last.
