Prayer works. Prayer works when we work prayer. It requires more than a cursory approach – it demands sowing of our spiritual want, our deep heart-felt desire, and hungering after righteousness.

As we stand in prayer, stand on God’s promises, and stand again we strengthen the cord of our spiritual connection with Heaven. Therefore, with the promise of God’s words on our lips, our eyes fixed on Him, and our heart’s turned toward Heaven, we are ready to share in His power!
