[Spoken Word: Testify-Music]
What is prayer?
A simple thought or words put into action through our Faith
There are many forms of prayer and multiple definitions of the word
But the question that's on everyone's mind is
Whether or not praying can fix the problems of this world?
C.S. Lewis and James Houston state: That prayer is not something to simply talk about
It is not even something we do
Prayer goes beyond a feeling
It is simply being in tune with God's presence, and realizing
That the more our hearts are in tune
With God's
The less fuss we need to make about how vocal and articulate we are in saying our prayer
Provided, of course, that we do not succumb to merely having “warm feelings”
Or vaguely “imaginative thoughts” we mistake for real communion with God
This always demands the most rigorous attentiveness and serious intent to be called
“Real prayer”
Once your heart is properly in sync with God's, then the different obstacles we face
Such as anger, power, heartbreak, and doubt
Become mere things of the past
Our prayers can change things for the better!
The change might not happen away, but in time…
The very things Satan uses to keep us shackled and bound, will disappear
Through the power of prayer and God's eternal love
So without further or do, I present to you
Pray until something happens, the re-release
