Prayer, the ultimate weapon

Prayer, its a very powerful weapon God has given to us. Its a privilege that God has given us, its the way to talk to God. Through prayer, we call on the name of our Lord, cry out our problems and sorrows. Through prayer, we also confess our sins to God and ask for forgiveness. And He who is faithful and just will forgive our sins. Through prayer, we give thanks to God, for His blessings and promises. As all this come to us freely and undeservingly, the immediate and ongoing response for Christian is thanksgiving. Through prayer, we also grow and persevere. In prayer, we can pray for each other, for wisdom in the spirit, to know God better. To have the eyes of our heart open, to see the Hope we have in Christ. All these are to help us persevere in our Christian walk. As life in this world are full of setbacks and temptations. By having wisdom to know God more and having our hearts open to see the Hope in Christ, we can be reminded of who God is, and what He has done for us. Indeed, God is a sovereign God, who has everything in control. He has sent his only Son to die for us, to redeem us, to save us and change us. Changing us to be like his Son, as we await patiently in this sinful world. Facing temptations and setbacks to pull us down. So as Christians and having this privilege to pray, urge fellow brothers and sisters in Christ to be prayerful. Pray for one another, to grow in Christ. Not to give up despite facing temptations and setbacks. Give thanks to God for everything, do not take him for granted. And also not forgetting to confess your sins to him and pray for forgivness. God is forever ready to forgive us. Amen
