God gives each of us a box of tools to use in our daily lives. Are we using these tools as they were intended?
Or, are they located in the bottom of our box, still unused?
Prayer gets God’s attention
when we have gone astray.
If...My people
who are called by My name
humble themselves and pray
and seek My face and turn
from their wicked ways,
then I will hear from heaven,
will forgive their sin and will heal
their land. Now My eyes will be open
and My ears attentive
to the prayer offered in this place.
2 Chronicles 7:14-15
Prayer sanctifies
what has been rejected.
For everything
created by God is good,
and nothing is to be rejected
if it is received with gratitude;
for it is sanctified
by means of the word of God
and prayer.
1 Titus 4:4-5
Prayer moves God.
...the LORD was moved
by prayer for the land,
and the plague was
held back from Israel.
2 Samuel 24:25
Prayer heals our mortal bodies.
Thus says the LORD, the God of
your father David,
I have heard your prayer,
I have seen your tears; behold,
I will add fifteen years to your life...
2 Kings 20:5
Prayer casts out demons, moves mountains, and
makes all things possible.
Jesus rebuked him, and the demon came out of him,
and the boy was cured at once...if you have faith the
size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain,
‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and
nothing will be impossible to you. But this kind does
not go out except by prayer and fasting.
Matthew 17:18,20-21
