Prayer is not a backup plan.

When Christians cease to gather together, the devil smiles. When they cease to read their Bible, the devil laughs. But when they cease to pray, the devil rejoices."
-Corrie Ten Boom

Prayer is not a backup plan. It is the lifeline. When Joshua prayed, the sun stood still (Joshua 10). When Daniel prayed, he was delivered from the lions' den (Daniel 6). When Elijah prayed, a child was resurrected, and the heavens withheld and later released rain (1 Kings 17-18). The early church prayed, and the Gospel spread to the ends of the earth.

Gentlemen....prayer changes EVERYTHING.
