When We Pray, Heaven Moves
An Inspirational Devotion From Pastor Brian
July 22, 2025
Prayer on the ground determines what God does in the heavens. That’s a powerful truth. I want to remind you today that when we pray, God is working. Even when we can’t see it, He is moving behind the scenes.
The Bible never says if we pray, but when we pray. That means prayer should not be an option. It should be a lifestyle. But if we’re honest, prayer isn’t always easy. We get distracted. Our minds wander. We start thinking about the laundry, the phone calls, or what’s for dinner. I get it. Even as a pastor, I struggle sometimes too.
The enemy knows the power of prayer. He wants to keep us busy so we won’t stop and seek God. But let me remind you, a prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian. Prayer is our power source.
So what can help?
Prayer isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being present. God is not looking for polished words. He’s looking for a willing heart.
Until next time, remember to take time out for God, because God always has time for you!
Sticky Statement:
A prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian.
Questions To Think About:
Prayer For Today:
"Lord, thank you for always being available when I pray. Help me to make time for You, to quiet the noise around me, and to focus on your voice. I know the enemy wants to stop me, but I choose to seek You first. Strengthen my prayer life and let Your will be done in me. In Jesus’ name, amen."
Thank you for sharing this devotion with your friends.

So what can help?
- Make an appointment with God. Just like you would with anyone else, schedule it. God will be there. Will you?
- Set the atmosphere. Play worship music. Let it center your heart and mind on the Lord.
- Start with thanksgiving. Thank God for what He’s already done. Gratitude opens the door to His presence.
- Bring your Bible. Read the Word. Let the scripture guide your prayers.
