“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” Romans 12:12
Never underestimate the power of prayer!
Five high school students began to sense their responsibility to God. They wanted to help fulfill the Great Commission on their campus. Each made a list of three friends whom they wanted to claim for Christ.
The first week they met daily to pray that these friends would sense their need for Jesus. The second week they prayed to be instruments of God. The third week they prayed for opportunities to speak to their friends about Christ. That same week 15 students for whom they had prayed invited Jesus into their lives through prayer!
Dear friend, the more frequently you share your thoughts and desires with Christ, the closer you come to Him.
Prayer is powerful and pleases God. That’s why He says, “Keep on praying.” And I say, “Amen!”
