The devil resists serious, focused prayer because he's defeated by it.

Often, in the midst of great problems, we stop short of the real blessing God has for us, which is a fresh vision of who He is.

I believe that our heavenly Father, our Savior, saved my mother from loneliness because of her daily walk with the Lord Jesus, He was the love of her life. I saw that in her life.

Communication with God is vital to a vibrant relationship with him. We will never really know God in an intimate, personal relationship if we don't talk to him.

The other half of communication is talking to him, which is prayer. Prayer is also important because the Bible commands us to pray.
