things are wrought by prayer than this world

dreams of.” We are aware that prayer can perform

better humans. It has the power of magic.

power of prayer. Nobel laureate Dr. Alexis Carrel

wrote, “Prayer is a powerful source of energy that

one can generate. It is a force as powerful as

terrestrial gravity. I have seen men, after all other

therapy had failed, were lifted out of the disease

and sorrow by the serene effect of prayer”. The

world today stands on the verge of destruction

because people have forgotten to pray. It is by

prayer that man reaches God and God enters him.

Man needs God as he needs water and oxygen.
