It is Not Magic, Nor is It Us

.
The power of prayer is not us,
     no matter who, how many, what
          is said, or how long.
There is power in prayer, indeed,
     a mighty power, power for change,
          power to stem any tide.
And there is no magic in concluding,
     in Jesus' most precious, "In His Name,"
          but power's only in His name.
The power for prayer lives deep inside us,
     the Spirit of God wrought by Christ's victory*
          waits ready with a sword in hand,
To vanquish every evil foe for all who invoke**
     the Name of Jesus as the authority of our God
          Himself to heal, deliver, and so save.
 

Acts 4:12

*the divine work He accomplished by dying for us
on the cross, and then confirming our price for sin
was fully paid by His rising from the grave

**when we pray and invoke the Name of Jesus in
doing so, we are demonstrating our faith in Him
and what He did for us while on earth to be able to
answer our prayer, according to God's will
