The Power of Prayer

What prayers does God answer? For what should we pray?
God's Son clearly taught us to pray in this way:
Not for riches, not for glory, not for selfish gain,
But for God’s Heavenly Kingdom and to honor His Name.

God says He will help us and give us the strength,
To endure life’s hardships and remain in the faith.
The joy that we feel when God's hand we can see,
Is the most wonderful feeling that fills us with glee.

Yes, prayer is a privilege we surely should cherish,
To stay close to Him who wants not that we perish.









(Matthew chapter 6)
