Prayer Makes a Difference

THROUGH PRAYER, I AM FILLED WITH ALL POWER TO OVERCOME.

Does prayer truly make a difference? Can it change your day?

“Oh, what a morning!” a friend related. “I broke a dish, burned the toast, and the phone interrupted our breakfast with disturbing news from a relative. I couldn’t have gone on like that, so I stopped everything and just had a quiet time with God.”

Did prayer change the tone of this friend’s day? Of course it did! Affirmative prayer changes us. It makes us realize that God is in charge of the whole universe—and God’s power is unlimited and unopposed. Certainly the Spirit of God working through us, in our lives and activities, can perform seeming miracles. God-power can dissolve the false and negative—can erase all mistakes—can heal and bless and prosper us. Prayer puts us in touch with this mighty Power.

Whenever your day becomes cluttered or disordered, take time to contact God. Ask for divine order and harmony. Affirm the presence of God’s power and see the difference! Knowing that communion with God truly does make a difference, wouldn’t it be wise to start every day with prayer?

Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere. (Ephesians 6:18)

Transcript of a radio broadcast by Rev. Joyce Kramer, January 21, 2014.

What do you want out of life? Do you know? Few people have any real concrete picture of just what they want out of life. Consequently it seems that they live at the mercy of someone or something other than themselves. Thus we have the belief that we are the victim of things over which we have little or no control.

Each and every person is created with the ability and the power to determine his own future. Man is not at the whim of fate, luck, or chance. Neither is he created to be at the mercy of another person [ . . .]

The Joyce Kramer Ministries logo depicts a dogwood tree planted across the entrance to the church that Rev. Kramer founded in Virginia Beach. Transplanted from her brother’s property in Charlottesville, for eighteen months the tree seemed nothing more than a lifeless stick in the ground. Finally, on a Wednesday afternoon, the decision was made to dig it up, but the lawn maintenance man did not have a shovel with him. The next week, he said, he would come back and discard the dead tree. But that Sunday when Rev. Kramer arrived at church, she noticed a single leaf had appeared on the otherwise barren stick. They left the tree in place, and it grew into one of the most beautiful on the property. This flowering dogwood represents the message of Joyce Kramer Ministries: Growth is always possible; never give up.
