Powerful Bible Prayers

Prayers from the Bible contain important elements, consistent with the Word of God. They are valuable assets to pray for our loved ones and leaders daily.
​Similar to drops of water that gradually accumulate and build into a drenching rain... prayer by prayer, things come by the hand of God that don't come any other way.

​There is a blessing and change that develops through prayer, and consistency in it, that brings a harvest and power of God to bring change, and affect those we pray for.
