Yet, can we just take moment of honest evaluation? Among many churches, prayer is given very little emphasis. Church calendars are filled with ministry and activities, but often no prayer meeting is scheduled. In churches that do have a consistent prayer meeting, the attendance is often very low.
Main Points:
1. We must ask, “Why has corporate prayer become such a low priority? Isn’t prayer the engine of the church? Doesn’t prayer and faith move the hand of God? Shouldn’t prayer be our first response, and not our last resort?
2. Prayer is no small thing. Prayer is a mighty thing. Imagine if the church returned to prayer. Imagine if once again we began to see the value and importance of the prayer meeting. Don’t you agree that a return to prayer would result in the power of God among us?
3. Prayer is not merely an activity to check off our spiritual to-do list. It is the heartbeat of our relationship with God. It is the lifeline that sustains our spiritual passion. Prayer aligns our hearts with the will of God, empowers our ministries, and transforms us from the inside out.
