“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” -- Philippians 4:6 (NIV)

“As soon as I pray, you answer me; you encourage me by giving me strength.” -- Psalm 138:3 (NLT)

Through prayer, we are asking God to move on our behalf or for the sake of someone else; this is termed “Intercessory Prayer.” Prayer can and will, providing God’s conditions are met, accomplish many wonderful things. Prayer can strengthen our souls, Prayer can impart peace, instead of us being overcome with anxiety and fear, Prayer can help us come to a greater understanding of God’;s purpose for our lives, and Prayer gives us the opportunity to bring all that is on our hearts before God.
