Mighty Power In Prayer

There is a mighty power in prayer, don’t underestimate it and don’t underutilize it or you’ll end up overwhelmed and overworked and without answers! Billy Graham once said, “Heaven is full of answers to prayer for which no one ever bothered to ask.” It’s true that we often take advantage of the privilege of prayer and the blessings it brings. We get too busy, we forget, we even refuse to seek God or we do so casually, rather than with bold conviction. Yet, there is no excuse for not conversing often with God. “Prayer is more than a wish,” Billy Graham has said. “It is the voice of faith directed at God.” 
“Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. Then he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit. My brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings him back, let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.” ‭‭-James‬ ‭5:13-20‬ ‭ESV‬‬
