Unlocking the Power of Prayer
A Spark of Faith
Five high school students ignited a fire of faith on their campus, driven by a desire to fulfill the Great Commission. They took a bold step, making a list of three friends each whom they wanted to introduce to Jesus Christ.
A Week of Prayerful Preparation
For the first week, they gathered daily to pray for their friends, asking God to awaken in them a sense of need for salvation. The second week, they shifted their focus, praying to become instruments of God’s love and redemption. In the third week, they petitioned God for opportunities to share the Gospel with their friends.
Miracles Happen
That same week, an astonishing 15 students, for whom they had prayed, invited Jesus into their lives! This remarkable outcome demonstrates the transformative power of prayer, which pleases God and brings us closer to Him.
Prayer: A Key to Intimacy
As we share our thoughts and desires with Christ more frequently, we draw nearer to Him. The Bible encourages us to persist in prayer, and we should respond with a resounding “Amen!” By doing so, we can experience the joy and hope that comes from a deepening relationship with our Lord.
Prayer: A Force to Be Reckoned With
Romans 12:12 reminds us, “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” Never underestimate the impact of prayer on our lives and the lives of those around us. As we commit to prayer, we can expect God to work wonders, just as He did on that high school campus.
