Importance of Prayer in Times of Crisis
1. Prayer Brings Breakthrough And Victory
The victories and breakthrough that results from prayer are among its most essential qualities. One of the best ways to escape from crises is by praying.
2. Prayer Protects
When you are facing crises, you become helpless and vulnerable. You can beg for God’s protection through praying because your safety is necessary.
3. We Gain Wisdom Through Prayer
James 1:5, it is stated that we should ask God for knowledge if we lack it since He is a gracious giver who overlooks all transgressions. God’s wisdom, distinct from human knowledge, is accessible through prayer.
Many crises are beyond the human mind’s capacity, so we need God’s wisdom to solve them. God’s divine wisdom enables us to understand circumstances and determine the best course of action spiritually.
4. Prayer Is Effective
We occasionally undervalue the effectiveness of prayer. We are not waging an imaginary battle, and spiritual conflicts that rage in the shadows are being fought with our prayers.
We fight not against “flesh and blood” but rather against “the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and the spiritual forces of wickedness in the higher realms,” as it says in Ephesians 6:12.
