Prayer

Prayer. It’s something we know we’re supposed to do, but we’re so busy, so tired, and so doubtful of its power that we often do everything but pray. May these prayer guides and other resources help you to pray in faith—believing that the God who commanded us to pray will hear and work miracles as a result of our prayers.
