Words of Wisdom from Dr. Charles Stanley

Prayer is one of the sweetest experiences in all of life, but it’s also one of our greatest struggles. Since prayer is a battle, we need to think of ourselves as soldiers and realize that our Commander has provided everything we need to be victorious. Besides being appropriately dressed for battle, a soldier must be watchful, determined, persistent, knowledgeable and obedient to his commander’s instructions.

The next time you get on your knees, remember that you’re entering a battleground. So stand firm and never give up, because your effectiveness and personal victory in Christ are linked to the time you spend with the Lord in prayer.
