Whatsoever you shall ask in my name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you shall ask anything in my name I will do it. Think over these passages. If this is not an encouragement to pray, words have no meaning. There are wonderful examples in the Scripture of the power of prayer.
Nothing seems to be too great, too hard, or too difficult for prayer to do.
It has obtained things that seemed impossible and out of reach. It has won victories over fire, air earth, and water. Prayer opened up the Red Sea . Prayer brought water from the rock and bread from heaven. Prayer made the sun stand still.
