We can t make it on our own. Life is too complex now to be lived without God. I am absolutely convinced that it is because of prayer that the peace process in the North has made such progress. When there is a problem, pray. Pray, pray, pray.
Prayer is answered, someway, sometime, often in a surprising way, but prayer is answered.
When we are in difficulty, we need to pray more than ever for the strength and wisdom to solve the problem. And when we pray, God is with us helping us to cope with the difficulty. Do not be afraid for I have redeemed you, I have called you by your name, you are mine. Should you walk through fire, you will not suffer, and the flame will not burn you. So please believe in the power of prayer, and turn to God in prayer when in need.
