The Wonderful Power of Prayer

We hear positive comments about prayer all the time. God answers prayer. Prayer changes things. Ask and we shall receive. Prayer is the key to the kingdom. There are many other cliches that could be added to the list. That is they would be merely cliches if they were not true. God is a powerful, mighty God that answers prayer. The song poet penned the thought prayer moves the arm that moves the world. God is big enough to bring our politicians to a place of agreement to prevent a long government shutdown. God is loving enough to comfort hearts that are breaking with grief and loss. I don't say that lightly; I have family and friends that are grieving right now. God is generous enough to sustain families in turbulent economic times. God is omniscient enough to impart wisdom to workers in Japan to solve the nuclear waste problem. He cares enough to show mercy to the Libyans. Problems that are world wide can be altered by the power of prayer. As children we sang He's got the whole world in His hands... We need to believe in the God that can hold the world in the palm of His hand again and call on Him with praying hearts. The promise is when we call He will answer. Take the time to work it out in prayer.
