Prayers have an IMPACT!

Man i needed to hear this! I hope you are as encouraged as I was! This was taken from Rick Warren's daily devotional.

-Do you ever wonder if prayer really works? You're praying about something and Satan whispers to you, "This is a waste of time. Forget it! Who do you think you are? What do you think you're doing? God is not listening. Don't waste your time."

-Prayer works because God is in control. The basis of all miracles is God's sovereignty. Why does He do one and not another? Because God is in control. We have to trust His wisdom and His goodness.

-Ephesians 3:20 says, "God is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of, infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts or hopes." (Living Bible Translation)

-Prayer can do whatever God can do. His resources are available to you. Twenty times in the New Testament it says, "Ask." It's encouraging to know that things that are out of my control are not out of God's. I may not be able to change a situation but I can pray and God can change it.

I don't know what kinds of things that you might be going through: family issues, health issues, work issues, any kind of issue, etc. But I do know that God is healer , provider, protector, strength, guidance, wisdom and the list goes on and on! I pray that God will reveal Himself to you in a real way, a tangible way so that you can experience His love and goodness! I pray that you will invite Jesus Christ into your life, and your heart. I pray all these things in Jesus name, AMEN!
