The Power of Prayer

Dr. Patricia Burgess the director of Global Health Outreach for the Christian Medical and Dental Association discusses the power of prayer in our modern world. She expresses the importance of remaining faithful even when you're fearful and placing your ultimate trust in God. She also emphasizes that you need to practice prayer, like training a muscle, but with humility.
