The power of prayer isnt in the person praying. Its not a magic formula. It isnt keywords. It is an open heart, humble and filled with awe of who our mighty God is. Rather, the power resides in the God who is being prayed to.1 John 51415 tells us, "This is the confidence we have in approaching God that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us whatever we ask we know that we have what we asked of him."In fact, Jesus rebukes those who pray using repetitions or those who pray in public to seek attention or those who dont have the right heart, "And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your father knows what you need before you ask him" (Matthew 678).Psalm 1072830 reminds us, "Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress. He stilled the storm to a whisper the waves of the sea were hushed. They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired haven." There is power in prayer! P.R.A.Y.E.R.
