The Lord Jesus tells us in Matt. 26:41, Watch and pray – the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Prayer is so full of meaning, it accomplishes so much, and it is so much overlooked and neglected! To pray really means that we as Christians realize that by ourselves, […]
The Principle of Prayer: God’s People Must Pray Before God Will Rise Up to Work
We have seen that the significance of prayer is to inhale God, absorb God, and to contact God in our spirit. But what is the principle of prayer? Why do we need to pray? If God knows all things if He knows what we need and what He needs to do, why does He need […]
