Yet regard the prayer of your servant and his
supplication, O LORD my God, and listen to the cry
and the prayer which your servant is praying before
you. 2 Chronicles 6:19 Faith is released through prayer. Prayer is like
pressing on the accelerator of a car. Normally, there
are several processes for starting a car. First, you
have to ensure that the car is in good working
condition. Then you must sit in the car, turn on the
ignition, and release the hand brake. All of these steps are important but they do not move the car. To
move the car, the driver must step on the accelerator
pedal. That is what prayer is like. After we have taken time to identify the promises of
God, build our faith and conquer our fears, we must
now release God’s power through prayer. The
moment we frame the desires of our heart and send
them forth through a request to the Lord, we set a
whole process in motion. That process goes through several phases from the time the prayers leaves your
thoughts or your mouth. In time, if you do not nullify
the effect of that process, you will receive a response
from the Lord. Prayer can be said in our thoughts or out of our
mouths. You can pray in your thoughts all the time
and under all kinds of situations – in the office,
classroom, bus or airplane. Even while before an
interview panel, you can send strong petitions to
heaven. However, prayer is most often said verbally. When you prayer out loud, you hear yourself which
reaffirms your faith. Because faith comes by hearing
the word, when you pray aloud, you recharge your
faith and create an atmosphere of power. When you pray believe that you receive and you shall
have what you request of the Lord. Pray.
