My father Billy Graham once said, “A prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian.” He also called prayer “the Christian’s greatest weapon.” I couldn’t agree more. The most important thing we can do is come to God and ask Him for help and direction. He’s the only hope for this world, and that’s why I pray in the mighty Name of Jesus Christ on this National Day of Prayer. “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16).  (Franklin Graham)

I re-read this today and once again it spoke to my heart. I have repeated this often:  “ I believe when we get to heaven, we will be sorry we did pray more” – I know I will.  My prayers are sometimes written by me on a piece of paper. It’s my greatest weapon against my up-and-down emotions.  I pour out my requests on that piece of paper, and then I tear it up and throw it in the trash and say “it’s yours now Jesus; I trust you to handle”.  I cannot tell you how many times those prayers have been answered – a great/good many of times.  I am so very greatful for the weapon of prayer.
