Prayer(less) week

Saw this from someone in a Christian forum..

Seven days without prayer makes one weak.

Christians, let us "pray unceasingly"... not just because we are weak without prayer, but because we are called to be strong by the power of the Holy Spirit, and predestined to be victors over sin and flesh (and even demonic powers) in Christ Jesus.

Is there ever a lack of things and people to pray for? Never! Yet why do we spend so little time in prayer? Is there even an iota of doubt that the living God can and will deliver what He has promised? Let us do what Christians do best: entrust all things to the good, perfect and pleasing will of the eternal and everlasting Father. And let us be His good and faithful soldiers- on bended knees.


What If His People Prayed

Lyrics by Mark Hall

Song based on Mark 8:34-37 and Ephesians 5:25-33

What if the armies of the Lord
Picked up and dusted off their swords
Vowed to set the captives free
And not let Satan have one more

What if the church, for heaven's sake
Finally stepped up to the plate
Took a stand upon God's promise
And stormed hell's rusty gates

Chorus:
What if His people prayed
And all who bear His name
Would humbly seek His face
And Turn from their own way

And what would happen if we prayed
For those raised up to lead the way
Then maybe kids in school could pray
And unborn children see light of day

What if the life that we pursue
Came from a hunger for the truth
What if the family turned to Jesus
Stopped asking Oprah what to do

Chorus:
What if His people prayed
And all who bear His name
Would humbly seek His face
And Turn from their own way

He said that He would hear
His promise has been made
He'll answer loud and clear
If only we would pray

If My people called by My name
If they'll humble themselves and pray
If My people called by My name
If they'll humble themselves and pray
