The LORD is near to all them that call on him, to all that call on him in truth. Psalm 145:18
Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. Philippians 4:6
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. James 5:16
If you know me, you know that I believe in prayer. I love to pray for others and I try hard to never say "I will pray for you in vain". I try when I hear a need to write it in my Bible to remind me to pray or I stop what I'm doing and pray that very moment. I also try to pray fervently when God puts someone on my mind. It's amazing the number of times that has happened and I have let the person know I prayed for them this morning because God brought them to mind and they will say "You don't know how badly I needed that today".
Prayer is the key cornerstone in a relationship with Christ.
Have you seen "War Room"? It's an entire movie centered on the power of prayer and it happens to star one of my absolute FAVORITE Bible teachers - Priscilla Shirer.
The movie has been out in the theaters since August but the DVD is releasing on the best day of the year - my birthday (12/22) (ha!) and it would make an awesome stocking stuffer for someone you love. Or a great movie to buy and watch as a family during the Christmas holiday.
It will encourage your family to start the New Year as prayer warriors. You may want to commit to make your own War Room to pray for the people in your life and for miracles to happen.
You can preorder your copy NOW and have it by Christmas! I can't think of a better gift for your family this season than something that will incite a passion for God's word and for prayer to be center in your home. Your children can make their own war room or war "corner" of the house and begin to write down their prayers. What a huge blessing this would be.
If you haven't seen the trailer or heard of "War Room" - you can watch it below. Get your own copy and be blessed this year!
