Prayer works!
It works to produce the peace of God in our care full lives. (Phil 4:6)
It works to make known our requests to God (Phil 4:6)
It works to align our hearts and minds with sound doctrine. (Phil 4:7)
It works to motivate us to minister as the Lord has instructed. (Eph 6:19)
It works to bring every thought captive. (Phil 4:8, 2 Cor 10:5)
It works to give us spiritual strength and confidence. (Eph 3:12-16)
It works to generate gratitude towards God. (1 Thess 5:17-18)
It works to keep us honest and life quiet. (1 Tim 2:2)
It works to minister grace living. (1 Tim 2:8)
Prayer works. It just doesn’t work as a magic lamp.
My spiritual life would be dead without God’s word and prayer.
Pray with thanksgiving, pray with rejoicing,
pray for others, pray without ceasing (1 Thess 5:17).
For his glory,
Justin Curtis Johnson
