Good morning, I’m Tim Wise, Senior Adult Minister and Sanctuary Choir Director at Central. Do you believe in the power of prayer? I do. I have witnessed and personally experienced God’s healing power through prayer. Sometimes it may not always come in the ways we expect or desire, but God honors our prayer. James 5 tells us about the power of prayer and reminds us to pray in every instance. And we shouldn’t be afraid of asking for others to pray for us. God wants us to pray and wants others to pray. As James tells us in verse 16, “The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.” Pray without ceasing. In all instances, pray. Pray for your friends. Pray for your neighbor. Pray for your enemy. Pray for yourself. Are you weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care? Jesus Savior is our refuge. Take it to the Lord in prayer.
