Called and Committed to Prayer
April 29, 2026
How have you seen the transformative power of prayer in your own life?
I experienced it firsthand a few years ago when I was diagnosed with cancer. Even when medical reports were disappointing and treatments were daunting, I felt a tangible sense of protection, mercy, and grace. I have no doubt that this peace was the direct result of the prayers breathed out by my church community.
Even greater than in the physical healing, I witnessed the true power of prayer during the long nights when my mind was shielded from despair. I felt it in the very real joy and hope for heaven that was preserved within me, even amid hardship.
Miracles happen through prayer.
Mountains are moved through prayer.
Lives are transformed through prayer.
Why? Because we pray to a glorious Father in heaven who inclines His ear to listen to His children. We pray in the mighty name of Jesus, the One who sits “far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked,” (Ephesians 1:21).
This May, the Cascade Christian family will finish walking through the entire book of Ephesians together. Looking back at this incredible letter, how fitting is it that the concluding charge is a call to prayer?
“And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.” (Ephesians 6:18)
On May 7, we join believers from across the country for National Day of Prayer, coming together as one in Spirit and of one mind to pray that HIS kingdom come, and HIS will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
CCS, let us pray. Let us pray for Christ-exalting miracles in our world. Let us pray for mountains to move in our country. Let us pray for genuine life-transformation in our churches. Let us pray for our prodigals to come home. Let us pray for Spirit-led repentance to spark revival in our communities.
Amen, Amen. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
