The Bible says in Psalms121:1;
"I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and the earth".
This is not an excuse, however, for us to dodge our God-given responsibilities. But, when human help falls short, divine help never fails.
Prayer is like travailing in labor, something mothers understand deeply.
It's been said that, many believers read more about prayer than they actually pray. If we're honest, we often study the principles of prayer, attend seminars and quote powerful verses, yet spend far
less time on our knees.
At a time like this, when our families, our nation and even the global community face so many challenges, we need praying believer. People who will refuse to give up. People who pour out their souls before God, not only for themselves, but for their homes, the Church and the nation.
But here's the catch: You cannot pray effectively without the right relationship with God. Take time for self-examination. Ask the Lord to reveal areas where you've grown cold or distracted. Seek His forgiveness and ask for fresh anointing to pray effectively and fervently.
Whether you're a mother, a father or a young person, know this truth: In the face of life's many challenges, our answer will come from God and God alone. Let prayer be your lifeline. Let God be your source.
