Prayer is one of the most potent weapons in the Christian arsenal! We are ordained to be overcomers, however, on our own, without God's assistance, we can't do anything worthwhile. There is nothing the Lord answers faster than a sincere prayer. In this lesson, Peters shared discoveries by Mr. David Barton, the author of the book "America: to pray or not to pray". Mr. Barton proved the power of prayers from a statistical standpoint. In 1962, the American Supreme Court outlawed prayers in schools. It's quite interesting that teen pregnancies, violence, and divorces are on the rise ever since the Court brought that decision. On the other hand, SAT scores plummet.
Children prayed the following prayer: "Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon thee, and beg thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers, and our country."
There is the power behind our every word. That's why the Bible says "Let the weak say, I AM strong.". Speak and think only of the good you desire. Choose your words and thoughts carefully. Many people have a habit of babbling. That's equal to spewing out God's power into nothingness. Be creative.
