Prayer makes a difference.

But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you" (Matthew 6:6, NIV).

A Word From Billy Graham
"Our Lord frequently prayed alone, separating Himself from every earthly distraction. I would strongly urge you to select a room or corner in your home where you can regularly meet alone with God. That quiet, secluded, soul-to-God praying in which you come to the mercy-seat can be your greatest blessing. As we observe the prayer life of Jesus, we notice the earnestness with which He prayed. The New Testament records that in Gethsemane He cried out with a loud voice, that in the intensity of His supplication He fell headlong on the damp ground of the Garden, that He pleaded until His sweat became 'as it were great drops of blood' (Luke 22:44, KJV). The Scripture says, 'Pray without ceasing' (1 Thessalonians 5:17, KJV). This should be the motto of every follower of Jesus Christ. Never stop praying no matter how dark and hopeless your case may seem."

Does Prayer Really Make a Difference?
1. Read Genesis 18:20-32. How did Abraham's entreaties influence God?
2. According to Matthew 7:7-11, what did Jesus say about our requesting things in prayer?
3. In Mark 11:20-25, Jesus used the fig tree as an illustration of answered prayer. What conditions did He place on our prayers being answered?
4. What does the parable of the widow and the judge in Luke 18:1-8 teach us about prayer?
5. Study James 5:13-18. According to the book of James, what characterizes the person whose prayers are effective? Observe your own life to see that prayer really does make a difference. Record your requests; throughout the days ahead, make note of how God answers your prayers.
 
Amen Mom! Prayer will move any mountain according to His will!:) He has great plans and does great things. It is to our great joy that He chooses to do those things thru us His chlidren!
 
Dusty,
God does answer prayer!
I know he does,
and sometimes when you think there is absolutely no possible way for something to be done,
God shows you just how awesome he is by doing what seemed impossible!!!
Thank you~
