Communication is an essential component of any and every relationship. It doesn’t matter if the relationship is one with your spouse, son, daughter, father, mother or the friendly neighborhood mailman; communication is vital. Communication is basically the glue that keeps those and all relationships together.
Christians should be the first people to recognize communication's power and importance. Prayer is communication with God, the Creator of the Universe. Without daily communication with Him, there is no personal relationship.
Prayer and communicating with the Lord are powerful, and having someone reach out to the Lord on your behalf is invaluable. Prayer can move mountains and make a way forward in a once-hopeless situation. That’s the power of prayer.
In their song “Praying Woman,” Anne and Lainey sing how prayer can improve and change situations and circumstances. Someone who is a faithful and prayerful follower of Christ, reaching out to Him even in dire instances, will bring about the Lord’s guidance and direction. Situations can and will change simply because of one person’s faithfulness and prayers.
The tune’s lyrics are beautifully written as they paint a picture of a faithful woman who consistently and constantly reaches out to the Lord Almighty on behalf of her family. As the song points out, while it may not appear that she is doing much, she is actually moving mountains.
“That’s the power, the power
Of two folded hands, bowed head, bendin’ knees
When she whispers, ‘Dear Jesus’
Heaven can hear it”
Anne and Lainey’s duet is not the flashiest performance in the world. But both young women showcase their immense musical talents while singing a moving and truth-filled tune about the importance and need of prayer.
Matthew 6:6: “But when you make your prayer, go into your private room, and shutting the door, say a prayer to your Father in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.”
