The Value of Prayer
Joel Beeke said, "We should always remember these five truths:
(1) prayer is essential for the well-being of your own soul;
(2) prayer is essential for you to fulfill your calling in your family, church, and nation;
(3) prayer is one of the most Christlike activities you can engage in;
(4) prayer is God’s appointed means of distributing the blessings of His kingdom and the gifts of Christ to His people;
(5) and un-offered prayer, not unanswered prayer, is our greatest problem—for they who ask not, have not (James 4:2).
