The Word of God and Prayer are a lot alike. They both are something we 'ought' to do daily. They both are manna which we must collect daily but cannot keep in 'reserve' for tomorrow. They are daily Bread for our needs and the needs of others. Fresh Word! Fresh Prayer! Do not offer the Lord 'old bread' nor partake of it!
Bring to Him our daily offerings. Be diligent to present yourself approved .... ( 2 Tim 2:15)! And remember:
No Prayer - no power
No Prayer - no revelation
No Prayer - no wisdom/direction
No Prayer - no peace...
It is when we are on our 'knees', a surrendered heart, that we gain His strength, His power, His joy, His victory!

The Joy of 'Unanswered' Prayers
I am a living testimony of the power of prayer. I stand here as the result of those who faithfully and constantly prayed and pray for me. May God reward them in heaven. I am able to testify of the power of prayer on my behalf and on behalf of others. I have no sucess without God's enabling power to pray for and in every situation. This too is the result of the One who stands to make intercession for me..
I have learned to enjoy the process God takes me through as I lift up my requests to Him (Phil 4:4,6). The answer is His to determine. I can truly experience His victory in the midst of 'unanswered' prayers and know His gentle touch to mold me and others while He gets us ready and conformed to His Will. You see there really is not such a thing as 'unanswered' prayers. He knows and holds the past, present and future. We pray not to change His will but to conform to His will. I can rest in His answer whatever that may be.
May you know and experience the joy and victory of daily communing with Him. And may you know the width, length and height of all that God has stored for those who humble themselves and pray. BECOME A PRAY-ER!!
