(TEXT : Mark 9:29)
And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.

Prayer is not an alternative for every believers, it is a priority that we must observe every day of our lives. The more a believer gives him or herself to prayers, the more he or she receives great turnaround. Prayer it is a means of communication and to bring one’s heart request before the Lord, to seek God’s attention or intervention in any matters.
Matthew 26:38-45 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy. And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
In addition, in whatever we do in the journey of life, we all need prayers. We need the prayers of our biological parents, prayers of our spiritual parents, and prayers of the elderly ones. But When the saints pray, the heaven pays attention and turn their request into testimony instantly. Who are the saints? They are the people who are separated unto God, they are pure in heart towards one another and heaven answered their prayers because they are always pray from the “pure of their hearts.”
Psalms 24:3-5 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
Finally, God honours the prayers of the saints whenever they gathered together to seek Him in their sincere heart concerning anything. Unfortunately, in the journey of faith there is no how you will succeed without the help of prayers. Because life it’s a battlefield and part of your weapon at the battlefield it’s your PRAYER. The more you give yourself to prayers, the more you are closed to your victory. So, don’t give up on prayer, keep praying and keep fasting; the future is certain and definitely bright for you.
James 5:15-16 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
