Overcoming Obstacles Through Prayer! Part Five

MagLife Daily Devotional

"Again, truly, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven." Matthew 18:19

An often overlooked aspect of prayer is the power found in united prayer within the Christian community. In Matthew 18:19-20, Jesus assures us, "Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them." In other words, an incredible strength and effectiveness arise when believers come together in prayer.

When we join others in prayer, we are not only comforted by their support and encouragement, but we also tap into the collective faith and power of the community. United prayer ignites a spiritual synergy that paves the way for miraculous breakthroughs and brings about God's abundant provision. It reminds us that we are not alone in our struggles and encourages us to carry one another's burdens.

Ephesians 6:18 says, "Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints."

Through our united prayers, we unite as a community, amplifying our faith and creating a powerful tapestry of hope, healing, and breakthrough. Just as in Acts 12:1-25 when the power of prayer broke through obstacles, we too can be obstacle breakers through our collective prayers.

In moments of doubt or despair, let us remember the impact communal prayer can have in breaking down barriers and bringing about positive change. By joining our voices in unity, we can uplift one another and foster a spirit of encouragement within our community. Amen. Matthew 18:20 says, "For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them." Amen.
