Why Prayer? Because Prayer Changes Things!

First, watch this video of Francis Chan talking about prayer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCb1xL6-dfg

"The little estimate we put on prayer is evidence from the little time we give to it."  E.M. Bounds

God Will Answer the Door!

Luke 11:5-12 - “Then, teaching them more about prayer, he used this story: “Suppose you went to a friend’s house at midnight, wanting to borrow three loaves of bread. You say to him, ‘A friend of mine has just arrived for a visit, and I have nothing for him to eat.’ And suppose he calls out from his bedroom, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is locked for the night, and my family and I are all in bed. I can’t help you.’ But I tell you this—though he won’t do it for friendship’s sake, if you keep knocking long enough, he will get up and give you whatever you need because of your shameless persistence. “And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. “You fathers—if your children ask for a fish, do you give them a snake instead? Or if they ask for an egg, do you give them a scorpion? Of course not!”

Moral of the story: Just keep praying and praying and praying!

Prayer Is Not Just About Knowledge, It's About Action!

"Satan does not care how many people read about prayer if only he can keep them from praying." Paul E. Billheimer

"Don’t pray when you feel like it. Have an appointment with the Lord and keep it. A man is powerful on his knees." Corrie ten Boom
