There is power in prayer. How is it that Jesus can be in a place of prayer, but not change the external circumstances around him that allows darkness to have a moment? Remember, while weeping endures for a night, joy comes in the morning.

Let’s commit to praying like Jesus: privately, consistently, preparedly, audibly, and expectantly. Right now we are vulnerable to the temptation to disconnect, to distance, and to deny what we know to be true. Let’s pray and come awake to the things of God.

E.M. Bounds says prayer shapes the world. The kingdom of God is brought to earth through our prayers. John Wesley says prayer is where the action is. Oswald Chambers calls our prayers powerful. We turn our ear to Heaven and get more clarity on how to bring Heaven to earth. We need God’s kingdom of righteousness, joy, and peace on the earth now more than ever. We pray today for the Kingdom of Heaven to come to earth.
