Creation and Evolution
- Matthew 14:23
- Time after time, history has been shaped by prayer.
- Queen Mary said she feared the prayers of John Knox more than all the armies of Scotland.
- John Wesley's prayers brought revival to England, sparing them the horrors of the French Revolution.
- Revival spread throughout the American colonies when Jonathan Edwards prayed.
- Reverend Billy Graham said, "I tell you, history could be altered and changed again if people went to their knees in believing prayer… We have not yet learned that a man can be more powerful on his knees than behind the most powerful weapons that can be developed."
- Matthew 14:23 tells us that Jesus sought to be alone with the Father after what must have been an extremely taxing day of preaching, teaching, and healing the multitudes. Perhaps our prayers are more powerful when in weariness we drop the pretense of "religious" language in favor of direct communication with the God into whose hands we've placed our lives.
- Today, speak honestly and openly with the Lord about your concerns, and make your petitions known. Then cast your cares onto Him and be in peace, knowing He is at work on your behalf.
