Are You Praying World-Shaping Prayers?

Prayer is not passive, it is the means through which God works in the world. It moves mountains, strengthens the weak, and changes hearts. When you pray, you are not just speaking words into the air; you are bringing your requests before the throne of the Almighty. God calls His people to pray not just for personal needs but for His will to be done on earth.

Are you consistently seeking God, believing that He hears and answers? Your prayers matter because you have the ear of the Creator of the universe.

"The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working."
— James 5:16b
