James 5: 16 says, 'The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." So, why is it Christians do not pray? Is it because they do not know the right words to say or they do not have enough time? Is it because they feel their prayers are not answered? Powerful Prayers, New Testament Edition is a tool to help put all these excuses to rest. Walk with us through the Bible reading prayers that will help you maneuver through some of the experiences you may have faced in life. Prayer is personal and powerful. When prayer is presented, it will be answered. God has guaranteed it. The power is not in the words. The power is in the One to whom we pray. As believers we should pray without ceasing. Unfortunately, prayer has become the stepchild of the Christian faith when it should be the foundation. As believers, we must understand how critical the daily discipline of prayer is to living a saved, satisfied and secure life. Teron V.
