Prayer isn’t just a spiritual habit—it’s heaven’s strategy. This reflection challenges you to make prayer a daily priority and embrace its power to transform.
Nick Schnarr sat in a cold hospital room. Doctors had just finished a heartbreaking conversation with him and his wife, Brooklyn, discussing end-of-life care for their unborn son, Charlie.
Diagnosed with severe hydrocephalus, Charlie was expected to die within minutes of birth.
But then, something happened.
Charlie cried..
And that cry wasn’t just breath. It was a breakthrough.
It was a sweet, soft cry of defiance in the face of despair.
That sound shattered every grim prediction and lit up a room with awe.
Seasoned doctors and nurses—experts who’d seen it all—were suddenly whispering words like “miracle” and “divine intervention.”
In the months leading up to Charlie’s birth, thousands prayed. Family. Friends. Strangers.
It wasn’t just emotional support. It was spiritual warfare. A groundswell of faith that moved heaven and rewrote the earthly report.
Prayer isn’t what we do when we’re out of options—it’s what unlocks options we couldn’t see.
When we pray, we don’t just hope for miracles. We make room for them.
As 2 Chronicles 7:14 declares: “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray… I will heal their land.”
This is what the National Day of Prayer is all about.
Across America, in city halls, courthouses, churches, and kitchen tables, people gather to do one thing: pour out their burdens and be filled with hope.
Charlie’s story isn’t just for his family. It’s for all of us.
Whether you're facing a diagnosis, a financial storm, or just the weight of uncertainty, you don’t have to fold. You don’t have to freeze.
Because in those moments, the enemy loves to whisper, “Why bother?”
But God always speaks louder.
So pray today. Invite others. Let the miracle begin with you.
Don’t wait for crisis.
Don’t wait for proof.
Don’t wait for the MRI.
Make prayer your first response, not your last resort.
Because if prayer healed Charlie Schnarr…
Why not our businesses?
Why not our families?
Why not our nation?
