‘What Does Prayer Do?’

Day 1: Philippians 4:6, 7 - GUARDS YOU - “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.

Day 2: James 5:16 - FREES YOU - “Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.”

Day 3: 1 John 5:14, 15 - PROVIDES FOR YOU - “And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him. And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for.”

Day 4: Hebrews 4:16 - GIVES CONFIDENCE - “So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.”

Day 5: Psalm 18:6 - GIVES RELEASE - “But in my distress I cried out to the Lord; yes, I prayed to my God for help. He heard me from his sanctuary; my cry to him reached his ears.”
