Prayer Is Powerful And Effective

 The Lord hears and responds to every spoken and unspoken prayer, every whispered cry, every word of grateful thanks, every prayer petition that is pleaded in the inner sanctuary of the heart. He hears every intercessor who pleads the blood of Christ in his prayer closet and every little prayer arrow that is quickly shot into the throne-room of grace.
 God responds to the heart-cry when those sudden emergencies engulf our peace, He has promised to be with us always - to hear and answer the cries of all his children. We rejoice to know that He is with us in every action, every place, and every decision we make in our lives. The prayer that is offered to God in faith proceeds from a heart that is pleasing to the Lord.
 Empty prayer from a heart of unbelief or the insincere prayer of pretense avails little, without faith in the God to Whom we are praying it is impossible to please Him, whoever comes to God in prayer must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who diligently search for Him.
 Similarly, pleas that flow from a double-minded person who uses prayer as a good-luck charm or as a means to manipulate the Lord, are displeasing to Him. Our prayers to the Lord should come from a heart that is an open book to our Father, the Prayer of a man or woman after God's own heart Is Powerful And Effective.
 Let us approach the throne of grace in humility of heart, for He is faithful to hear and answer the prayers of His children.
LORD, hear my just plea! Pay attention to my cry! Listen to my prayer, since it does not come from lying lips.

Our United Prayer:
Loving Lord, thank You that You are a God who hears our every sigh and knows our needs before we even ask. May our prayers flow to You from hearts that trust You implicitly, hearts that are open and clean before Your throne of grace. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN.
