Today, explore Part 3 of the powerful series, “My Assurance – God Is in Control,” where Dr. Stanley delves into profound questions about prayer. Can our prayers truly influence God’s actions? Do our persistent and heartfelt prayers have the power to change His divine plan, or are they simply ways for us to connect with His will? Dr. Stanley addresses these questions directly, drawing from Psalm 103, which reminds us of God’s unchanging sovereignty: “The LORD has established His throne in the heavens, and His sovereignty rules over all.”

In this message, Dr. Stanley explores how prayer fits into God’s ultimate design for our lives and the lives of others. Even when God has a defined plan, prayer becomes our avenue to align with His intentions, strengthening our faith and deepening our trust. Reflecting on the nature of God’s sovereignty, he guides us through how prayer impacts our hearts, even when the answers seem delayed.

One key lesson Dr. Stanley shares is that prayer is not about altering God’s purpose but about building our faith to trust in His wisdom. When challenges arise and the answers we seek don’t come immediately, prayer helps us stay resilient, focused, and connected to God’s promises. And as we pray, we also confront spiritual challenges, as doubt and discouragement can creep in. But remember, as Dr. Stanley reminds us, this is when we need to stand firm, trusting in God’s love and ultimate control.

So, join Dr. Stanley for a faith-deepening journey as we discover why our prayers matter and how they empower us to live with assurance in God’s plan.
