Prayer Is Powerful

I believe in prayer, I believe in the power of prayer, I believe in the act of praying. Prayer is powerful, and in my opinion, one of the most important things to do when being in a relationship with God. Praying has had a huge impact on my life. I never used to pray, but once I started praying, my life started changing. Praying is not just about asking God for something, or thanking him for something. It’s just like talking to someone. I talk to God every day, all day, just like I talk to my best friend. Not only has praying impacted my own life, but I have witnessed it impacting the lives around me. A few years ago at church camp there was this girl who had gotten into a car wreck a few days before camp. The wreck caused her to break or tear something in her leg (I don’t remember exactly what they said it was) and she could not walk on it for another 6-8 weeks, she was on crutches the whole week of camp. The night before we were leaving to go home, It was a Thursday night, We were in service worshiping and praying and it had died down a little and people we’re heading back to their seats, I remember hearing a group of girls still praying around someone then they all started cheering and yelling and clapping so I looked up, to see this girl drop her crutches on the ground and start jumping up and down on both feet. No joke, honest, no lie home fry. The next day at the morning chapel before everyone left they announced what had happened, the story about the wreck and everything. It honestly, still to this day, blows my mind. That, my friends, is the power of prayer. The power of God.
