  • Prayer Releases God’s Purpose

    I found this quote online it’s beautifully said:

    “Prayer really does things. It cannot change God’s intention, but it does change God’s action. God had long intended Isaiah to be his prophet. When Isaiah said, ‘Here am I, send me,’ he did not alter in the least the divine purpose, but he did release it. God could do then what before he could not.”

    — Harry Emerson Fosdick, founding minister of Riverside Church

  • Approach God with Freedom & Confidence

    “In Him and through faith in Him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.”

  • Prayer produces the right atmosphere

    “Prayer is not only asking, but an attitude of mind which produces the atmosphere in which asking is perfectly natural.”

    – Oswald Chambers

  • Helping Others Through Prayer

    When someone dear to me is in need, I can help him or her through prayer. The power of faith and understanding is great. It frees my mind of fear and anxiety about the one for whom I pray. I take my eyes off the problem and focus on the spirit of God within.

    No matter how serious the condition or how hopeless my loved one may feel, the spirit of God is within them. I hold my dear one in heart and mind. I see the indwelling life of God as strength, energy and courage.

    I send my faith and love to anyone in need, affirming that their spirit will be uplifted. I give thanks, for God is in the midst of all, and all is well.

    “The prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise them up; and anyone who has committed sins will be forgiven.”

    — James 5:15
