The Power of Prayer
May 3, 2026 • John Holmes
Prayer is the believer’s lifeline of dependence on God, through which the Father gives spiritual help to His children. God is not distant or reluctant toward His children. Through Christ, believers have access to the Father, who welcomes their prayers, hears their cries, and gives what they truly need. Neither are we outsiders trying to get God’s attention—we are children welcomed into His presence. Therefore, Christians should develop a consistent daily prayer rhythm. Pray with persistence, humility, and confidence in the Father’s goodness. Move prayer from occasional crisis response to daily dependence. Make prayer a regular part of how you begin your day, face your needs, and bring your heart back to God again and again.
