“The power of Prayer”

Prayer is a conversation with God (silent or speaking out loud) about anything at anytime and anywhere. “Don’t worry about anything, instead , pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.”Philippians 4:6

Luke 3:1-6

John the Baptist Prepares the Way

In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar—when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and Traconitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene— during the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness. He went into all the country around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
