About the power of prayer, Part 4 of 5

Daniel 6:10 Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem . Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before. (NIV)

The power of prayer increases our confidence in our abilities. Many times we get to thinking about how we have fallen short, have been wrong, have been mistaken, and then we lose our self-confidence. In our prayer times, we can go to God and in His power we can find confidence our efforts will produce great results for Him.

The power of prayer can produce pride in the Lord's work. Selfish pride is a sin. However, our prayer life can show us God's view of our work for Him. Then, in His view, we find a healthy pride in doing His work on earth.

The power of prayer produces in us a joy in doing God's work, even in utter hardship. Our work for God, done well, often brings the hardships of persecution, sacrifice, and pain. The power of prayer infuses us with joy when we do God's work without regard for the price we pay to do the work.

The power of prayer gives hope when there is no hope. So many times in our life, because of circumstances we do not control, we lose hope. The power of prayer gives us a vision to see past our present circumstances. The power of prayer gives us a vision to see possibilities we know in faith can become realities.
