The Power of Prayer


Looking back at my recent posts, I see that God has placed the topic of prayer heavily on my heart. It seemed that every morning I'd wake up with yet another thought that would revolve around prayer. If I wasn't thinking about prayer, then I was thinking about those who need prayer--Emma, Kelli, Laurel's husband, CWO readers, my friend Carol... and the list goes on.

While God laid a burden on my heart for prayer, He also directed me to Exodus where I began to understand that there is a battle being fought around us and unless we continue in prayer, we are letting the enemy get a foot hold. Every time that Moses put his arms down, the enemy prevailed. I decided it was time to press on.

Bible reading has always been an important part of CWO, but yesterday I decided that prayer needs to be an equally as important--if not more important--part of who we are online. So I opened the prayer room.

I'd like to invite you to join there whenever you feel led to join us in prayer:



Even if you are not a blogger, you can be involved--have a ministry from home. I've written more about ways that readers can help at this page:

Wonderful ideas Darlene. The mind is the enemy's battleground and through prayer, he cannot get a foothold.

Blessings to you.

I love this idea. Prayer has been heavy on my mind lately too, I'm sure that someone is need so I pray for everyone's concerns. I like that there is a "room" to go to on CWO. You do such a great job! I'm very glad you're blogging.

Amen. Great Idea. Prayer is powerful and God wants us to pray. The more we pray God is at work.

Hi Darlene...thanks so much for commenting on my blog! I recently added the Prayer Room button to my blog. I truly believe in the power of prayer...I'm constantly convicted of the need to do it more in my own life. Thanks for doing this, and for starting Christian Women Online!

Darlene what a wonderful way to reach out and minister to people! I love the Prayer Room and will add it to my blog as time permits! I have to confess that I am not a great prayer but have learned to do so on my knees when I do pray and it seems to help me stay in the prayer zone longer! Thanks for all you do!
