So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was intreated of us. (Ezra 8:23)
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. (James 5:16)
Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas

The disciples slept while Jesus prayed in Gethsemane before his crucifixion. He rebuked Peter for not staying awake and told them to watch and pray so they wouldn't fall into temptation. Jesus still needs prayer partners in our human condition, and our prayers could make the world a better place if we accompany Jesus in his eternal mission to intercede for us and all creation. We should pray without delay and live alert and vigilant in the Kingdom. Read more...

Pastor Faustino is so right: how many times we want to pray and something happens, we get sleepy, tired, lazy, etc., etc. Many times the flesh overcomes us. We must be constant in prayer. As the Lord says. Thank God, our congregation is attending the Tuesday prayer services with many brothers and sisters this year. The Lord God has given us the desire to pray.
