The Power of Prayer

The Power of Prayer 

Acts 12:5 


So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him.


Proverbs 28:9 


If anyone turns a deaf ear to the law, even his prayers are detestable.


Luke 18:1-8 


1 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. 


2 He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared about men. 


3 And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’


4 “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don't fear God or care about men, 


5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually wear me out with her coming!’”


6 And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. 


7 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 


8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”


1 Timothy 2:1 


I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone—


Acts 20:36 


When he had said this, he knelt down with all of them and prayed.


Matthew 6:9 


“This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
1 Thessalonians 5:17 


pray continually;


Jeremiah 33:3 


‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’


Acts 16:25-26 


25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. 


26 Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everybody's chains came loose.
