This document discusses the topic of prayer. It begins by asking several questions about prayer, such as what prayer is, if it works, and how often one should pray. It then provides several Bible verses that speak to the power and purpose of prayer, such as how prayer allows for "heavenly interference" and that God desires to hear our prayers. The document outlines different types of prayer and suggests that prayer is most powerful when it comes from the heart, comes with faith, and claims the promises of God found in the Bible. It encourages memorizing Scripture for every situation and praying God's promises back to Him with command, authority and belief.
