Prayer is All-Powerful

Chapter 4: Prayer is All-Powerful Who but a divine Person could have made so generous a promise and been able and absolutely reliable to keep it faithfully? But this is not a mere promise, for its very wording shows that it is equivalent to an obligation taken, so to say, under oath, for such seems to be the meaning of the expression "Amen, amen" (in truth, in truth), which our divine Saviour used whenever He wished to emphasize His words. Moreover, this wonderful promise, though addressed on this occasion only to the apostles, who were then alone present, is made to all men without exception, for Jesus, on another occasion, made no restriction of persons, but said plainly: "Every one that asketh, receiveth, and he that seeketh, findeth, and to him that knocketh it shall be opened" (Matt. 7. 8). Nothing is excepted, when we ask, or pray, in the name of Jesus Christ: "Whatsoever you shall ask the Father in My name, that will I do" (John 14. 13). "You shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you" (John 15. 17). Source: "Prayer: Its Necessity, Its Power, Its Conditions" by Fr.
