b'You\\u2019re halfway through the story, and the heroes are stuck. Nothing isworking, and the enemies are closing in. You don\\u2019t see any way of escape.\\nBut, somehow, things turn out okay. Maybe a sudden turn of events changes everything. Maybe they knew something you didn\\u2019t. Or maybe they had a secret weapon, more powerful than you or their enemies ever dreamed.\\nWouldn\\u2019t it be nice if *we* had a secret weapon, something we could pull out to help us when we just aren\\u2019t powerful enough? If we\\u2019re soldiers of God\\u2019s kingdom, shouldn\\u2019t He have equipped us with some really strong way to influence our world?\\nGood news! He did! It\\u2019s called prayer.\\nWhat? No bolt of lightning? No neon laser beam? Words we say to God\\xe2\\u20ac\\xa6what sort of a weapon is that? But look deeper. Our actions are limited in ways that prayer isn\\u2019t: the fact that we don\\u2019t have to *do* anything is exactly what makes it so powerful. We can influence the other side of the world! Change people\\u2019s hearts! Work miracles! Prayer gives us access to the full power of God. \\nEver heard of George M\\xc3\\xbcller? He took care of 10,000 orphans in nineteenth-century England, receiving \\xc2\\xa31,500,000 (the equivalent of over \\xc2\\xa386 million today) without ever asking anyone\\u2014except God\\u2014for money or help. George M\\xc3\\xbcller knew the power of his secret weapon.\\n\\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153But can *I* be a prayer warrior?\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d Absolutely. Who do you know who needs prayer? A friend who doesn\\u2019t know Christ? Someone who\\u2019s going through a rough time? Commit to praying for them each day. Choose a specific time to help you remember\\u2014maybe right before bed or on the way to sports practice. Keep building up the habit of prayer, bringing your requests before Jesus, the ultimate Healer and the One who promises to restore either now or when He returns to make all things new. \\u2022 Christiana Cudworth\\n\\u2022 What are some things in your life you could start praying about? \\n\\u2022 When can you find time to pray? What will help you remember? \\n\\u2022 Why is it hard to motivate ourselves to pray? Why do you think Satan would tempt us not to?\\nThe prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
