Prayer opens
the door for God to do His work in a world desperately in need of His
intervention
.
The
righteous have a job to do, and it begins with prayer. The
world around us is crying out for our intercession. The unsaved need our
prayers to bind the hindering spirits that keep them from receiving salvation.
The sick need our prayers for healing. The oppressed need our prayers for
deliverance. Our families, neighborhoods, and workplaces need our prayers to
rebuke the forces of darkness that threaten to sweep over them.

“Therefore watch
always and pray that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that
will happen and to stand before the Son of Man.” - Luke 21:36
We
are living in perilous times, surrounded by filth and violence, when men search
for answers and can find none.
Through this whirlwind of depravity comes the still, small voice of God saying, "Pray always," because prayer is effective! (James 5:16).

Too often we hear, "There's
nothing left to do but pray" -- but there has never been anything else
to do but pray!
Holy Spirit, when I
have nothing to pray or don't know how to pray, then pray through me teaching
me how to intercede for others.
Lord, always keep me
praying in the Spirit. Amen.
