Prayer is.....

1. God's idea
2. God's invitation
3. Christian's missile
4. Conquest not evasion
5. Fellowship with God

When we work we work, when we pray God works.
When we pray it infuriates hell, interrupts heaven and influences us.
Prayer is a God's designed missile- speed of thought, hit any point of earth, always hits the target.
Prayer touches people you can't.
Prayer is fuelled by faith.
There is no defence against prayer.
Prayer is equipped with delayed detonation mechanism- answered in God's time.
Prayer is unlimited.

if you are seriously worried about your future plans, pray dilligently and seek God. He will only help you if you do something about it. Even if you are going in the wrong direction......he steers you!

The LORD is my light and my salvation -- whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life -- of whom shall I be afraid?

Psalm 27:1

Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Isaiah 41:10

In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths.
Proverbs 3:6
