God promises to pour out His Spirit and His blessing when His people pray. Too often we encounter spiritual drought in our lives, in our families, in our churches, in our community, in our nation, in our culture, and in the world simply because Christians take God's providence for granted and do not pray. Let's take a different approach. Yes, God will have will purpose in the world. So rather than sit back and wait for it, let's join Him in accomplishing His purpose in our day by praying and seeking Him today.
