Sozo And Shalom
Prayer changes us and equips us to be agents of God to live in conformity to His will for us for through prayers we get to develop an intimate relationship with Him.
The beginning of hope is in the dark and then faith assures us that the Creator will definitely bring another day in His grace, filled with blessings and strength to tide over the present troubles.
God is able to bless others without us but through speaking to Him for others problems we get the chance to be His partners in spreading His love, by opening our hearts to Him and thus be overwhelmed by His love for us.
Before looking at our hearts surely God would also look at our feet to see our efforts to reach out to others, for He will answer those efforts equally as our prayers of the lips.
Prayer is heart work to match our thirst for God with His desire to bless us and it is the only way to prepare and enlarge our own heart to make it ready and equipped to welcome God within.
