Dr. Robert Jeffress: Don't underestimate the power of prayer, no matter what others say
[FOX] In the wake of the horrific mass slaughters in New Zealand and Nigeria, some people have criticized offers to pray, suggesting that prayers are nothing more than empty platitudes. But as Christians, we believe in the power of prayer. In prayer, we get to engage in a conversation with the God of the universe, as well as seek His guidance and forgiveness. And beyond that, through prayer we have the opportunity to the move the hand of our all-powerful God to intervene supernaturally in our lives and our world.

Some years ago, my previous church planned to build a new worship center. However, it would require purchasing a city street that bisected our property. The city was opposed to the sale, and the project appeared doomed. Then I had an idea‐why not pray about the matter? About 100 prayer partners joined me in our sanctuary to ask God to change the city officials’ hearts. A few hours later, out of the blue, the city manager called the chairman of our building committee to discuss selling the street, and within a few weeks the deal was done.

Throughout the Bible, there is an inseparable link between faith and answered prayer. Jesus said in Matthew 17:20, "If you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ’Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you."
