Pray for the Ministry

AiG believes the Bible’s promise that ‘the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much’ (James 5:16), and we, with the Apostle Paul, encourage you to ‘be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God’ (Philippians 4:6). We encourage our supporters to regularly lift up the ministry in their prayers.

E.M. Bounds wrote about prayer:

One of Satan’s wiliest tricks is to destroy the best by ‘the good.’ Business and other responsibilities are good, but we are often so filled with these that they crowd out and destroy the best. Prayer holds the citadel for God, and if Satan can by any means weaken prayer he is a gainer so far, and when prayer is dead the citadel is taken. We must keep prayer as the faithful sentinel keeps guard, with sleepless vigilance. We must not keep it half-starved and feeble as a baby, but we must keep it in giant strength. Our prayer-chamber should have our freshest strength, our calmest time, its hours unfettered, without obtrusion, without haste. Private place and plenty of time are the life of prayer. To kneel upon our knees three times a day and pray and give thanks before God as we did aforetime, is the very heart and soul of religion, and makes men, like Daniel, of ‘an excellent spirit, greatly beloved in heaven.’
