What does it mean to have a heart for prayer?

Webster’s dictionary defines prevailing as having superior force or influence. When we think of prayer as believers, as children of God do you describe your prayer life as having superior force or influence with God?

When there is a big task to be done, I am saying, there are two entirely different ways to approach it. There is the rise up approach and ...read more
