“The Power of Prayer“—these words are so familiar, yet sometimes we forget what they mean. Praying is the perfect means for communicating with the Giver of all things good. Prayer helps us to 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 our spiritual life will be in direct correlation to the quality of our prayer life. Prayer changes things, and it changes us. Today instead of turning things over in our minds, let us turn them over to God in prayer. Instead of worrying about our next decision, let us ask God to lead the way. Pray continually about things great and small. God is listening and is waiting to hear from us. The most extraordinary power that God has given to us is the power of prayer. Let us take our hopes, our dreams, our worries, our fears to Him in prayers. Let us be a worthy example to our families, friends, neighbors, and colleagues in showing them the importance and power of prayer. Let us take everything to God in prayer, and when we do, let us trust in Him and His answers. God cares for and loves us. — James 5:16
