Psalms 65:2
O You who hear prayer, To You all flesh will come.

Some time ago, I remember discussing with my husband about a couple and how their situation seemed to defy solution. It appears that their case would have made one to think that God does not answer prayers or that prayer does not work. Because instead of their case getting better, it appears to be getting worse.

Yet, I know in my heart and I chave evidence that God hears and answers prayers.What could be wrong in this case? Well, I believe as we revisit the topic of prayer, the Lord will teach us and guide us aright.

This edition is a call to prayer. It is a call for believers to wake up to their responsibility and stand in the gap for our land and community. It is a call to pray for the nation that we live in. No nation is free from the threat of terrorism, corruption, and sin that are ravaging the world. We need to pray.

We will look at the following aspects of prayer.
1. What is prayer?
2. The purpose of prayers.
3. The benefits of praying.
4. Types of prayers.
5. Hindrances to a fulfilling prayer life.
6. Sustaining good prayer life and more.
I trust that the Lord will speak to us. God still hears prayers. Let us call on Him in faith. Shalom.

Your Turn:

• Thank God for the opportunity to learn about prayer.
• Pray that you will gain new insight that would move your prayer life to the next level.

Hymn: I need thee every hour.
