Does Prayer Actually Work? · With Authority · September 27, 2026
Peter knew the temptation better than we do. The devil sinned by wanting to be recognized and worshiped, and he wants us to fall into the same sin — quietly assuming our prayers work because of us. Peter redirects the whole room. When you pray, pray like Peter: not pointing at yourself, but pointing everyone toward Jesus.
Father, search my heart for any place I want the credit. Take the glory off my name and set it on Jesus. Let my prayer say “Look at Him,” not “look at me.”
