OPINION | ANTHONY ARMSTRONG: The power of prayer

Anthony Armstrong

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint.” — Luke 18:1.

People are encouraged to attend worship services and discover and unlock the power of prayer.

There’s an old saying, “April showers bring May flowers.” During the month of May, we also recognize another opportunity to thank God for bringing us into a new season.

Take the time to pay attention to the opportunities that are available to you in this season of life.

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” — Romans 8:28 New International Version.

What opportunities are you thinking about? It could be God, family, business, personal development, enjoyments and much more.

“But as it is written: Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” — Corinthians 2:9 New King James Version. Go God Go.

May is also a month where we honor mothers. Mothers, we love you and praise God for you. May the Lord bless you in a special way.

“Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.” — Proverbs 31: 28 – 29.
