Keys to a Powerful Prayer Life a 4-Day Plan by Joy Oguntimeinಮಾದರಿ

Key 4: Pray

Read: James 5:16-18

Like Elijah, we can experience the power of God moving in response to our prayers. God wants to involve us in the great things He is doing through prayer. When we pray faithfully as Elijah did, we're taking part in a beautiful privilege where at any moment, we may be given a front-row seat to a miracle!

Remember, prayer is a conversation with God, not a formula. Prayer is a continual conversation between ordinary people and an extraordinary God with limitless power. Our prayers don't have to be long or pretty. They just have to be an outflowing of the heart to God. The power of prayer doesn't reside in the prayer but in the God to whom the prayer is addressed.

Powerful prayers are prayed. I know that sounds simple and possibly silly, but I don't want you to miss this fundamental truth. Do you want more powerful prayers? Then you have to pray! Just pray. Make prayer a daily practice, not a last resort. Pray at any time and any place. Pray for the little things in life as well as the big things. Pray about everything and watch God move!

Pray: Lord, Thank you for the gift of prayer. Thank you for the privilege of conversing with you. Help me to be more devoted in prayer. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
