Power of Prayer

“Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you...great are your purposes.” (Jeremiah 32:17, 19)
Scripture Focus: Jeremiah 32:17-21

Mist permeated the air and a roar resounded. I felt small and helpless watching the rush of water plunging over Niagara Falls. Others had stood in this spot, seen the potential of that power, and channeled it through a power plant. Now this dynamic energy provides light to many homes.

Energy resources abound, but we must find effective ways to draw on these resources. This is true in the spiritual realm also.

We need not fear the darkness around us. We need not feel small and helpless. We can realize the capability of God’s awe-inspiring, spiritual power. We can channel it into our lives through prayer. Then we can share His light with others.

Prayer connects us with God’s infinite power. There will never be a shortage. Nothing is too difficult. God will provide all the spiritual force we need to provide light to this dark world.

Sadly, some people never realize the hidden power of prayer. God’s power lies untapped while they complain of unmet needs.

Insight: Most heartbreak comes from unoffered prayer rather than from unanswered prayer. That’s a statistic we can easily change!
