Power of Prayer

18 Early in the morning, as he was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. 19 Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, "May you never bear fruit again!" Immediately the tree withered.
20 When the disciples saw this, they were amazed. "How did the fig tree wither so quickly?" they asked.
21 Jesus replied, "Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done. 22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."

Matthew 21:18-22


There is indeed power in prayer! There is power when you believe with all of your heart that God will answer your prayer. There is power in the belief and the act of prayer, even if God does not change your circumstances right away as He will give you a peace that passes all understanding and knowledge that without a doubt He is in control. God longs more than anything today for you to come to Him in prayer like a little child with relentless faith that He hears you and wants only the best for your life. How is your faith this morning? How is your relationship with God? Have you spent time with Him lately just pouring out your heart; telling Him how much you love Him; telling Him your fears and worries; and letting Him know the desires of your heart? He is waiting for you today and yes, He will indeed answer in a way that just may blow you away. Spend some time with your Father in Heaven today!
