Jesus said, "Everything is possible by faith …
There is no means of casting out this sort but by prayer."
Mark 9:29

As food is for the body so is prayer to the life of the soul. The turning of heart and mind to horizons of truth and beauty and goodness is the beginning of the life and growth and progress of the soul's emergence and development. And with the turning there must be a commitment to that which is seen and heard in the quiet recesses of the heart and mind, an offering of all that is known, desired and possessed in present, past and future. And this, with the total self-giving in love and praise and thanksgiving to the loving Heavenly Father is prayer. At the threshold and in the centre of each and every encounter I receive, cleanse, and offer to the Father every desire for good, building it into the fabric of the totality of the prayerful offering of the world.

So each and every prayer offered in faith and love and trust is a significant contribution to the building of the Father's Kingdom on earth; and all who identify with the Father's loving purpose for the well-being of His beloved children are powered to accomplish that which they earnestly desire and seek in their faithful commitment to their life and prayer in Me.
