Prayer is always the refuge for Christians in any situation. When you can't wield your sword, you can always rely on the power of prayer. Your resources might fail, but prayer never loses its effectiveness. Even the mightiest opponents tremble at the power of prayer.

While physical weapons may need maintenance, prayer is always sharp and ready. It is an open door that no one can close. Even when surrounded by trouble, the way to God is always open. As long as we can reach Heaven with our prayers, we won't fall into the enemy's hands. We are never trapped as long as divine help can reach us in our time of need.

Prayer is always in season; summer or winter, it remains valuable. It finds its way to Heaven in the quiet of night, the midst of work, and the calm of evening. In poverty, sickness, or uncertainty, God hears our prayers and responds from His holy place.

True prayer brings true power. You may not always get what you ask for, but your true needs will be met. If God doesn't answer how you expect, He does so in a deeper way. If you ask for rough grain and receive fine flour, why be upset?

If you seek physical healing, don't complain if He uses your sickness to heal your soul. Isn't it better to have the cross sanctified than removed? Tonight, don't forget to pray, for the Lord is ready to fulfill your desires.
