Do not rush away the moment you finish speaking. On your worst praying day, Christ Himself is still interceding for you.

Have you ever heard someone say, 'All I can do now is pray'? We have somehow reduced prayer to a last resort, something we reach for only when everything else has failed. Grounded in 1 Thessalonians 5:17, this daily devotional explores what prayer actually is. It unlocks the doors of heaven and releases the power of the God who created 200 billion galaxies. It connects the finite to the infinite and the temporary to the eternal. The Apostle Paul's instruction to pray without ceasing is not a call to be on your knees every waking moment, but rather a call to an orientation of life and a posture of continuous connection. Discover why you do not have because you do not ask, and learn how using the most powerful resource in the universe can help communities change and nations turn.

John Knox prayed, and the Church in Scotland burst into new life. Martin Luther prayed earnestly, and the Reformation exploded across Europe. Grounded in Isaiah 65:24, this daily devotional explores how these were not exceptional cases, but demonstrations of a principle that runs through the entire Bible. Earnest, faith-filled prayer changes things. It is not simply the subjective experience of feeling connected to God. It is an objective force that moves things in the spiritual realm and the material one. God says that before they call, He will answer. He is already leaning in. Discover why we must not approach this extraordinary privilege with a lack of seriousness and urgency, and how to use prayer as your primary weapon against overwhelming forces.
