Yesterday we encountered a dangerous situation when armed intruders entered our area. The problem was confronted while God's people prayed. Prayers were answered, and everything returned to normal in a short time.
Often we fret first, then pray, when we should pray first and not fret. One of our greatest blessings in the ministry is our faithful prayer partners. We know they pray evening, morning and noon, and we see God answer. Prayer changes things.
"Can you imagine life without fear? What if faith, not fear, was your default reaction to threats?"
