The most powerful act anyone can perform is to pray for someone. Of course, the power is not in the praying, but in the release God gives in His perfect
answer to our prayers. Paul provides an example of one of the most effective prayers we could utter. He prays that the Colossian church:
• May be filled with the knowledge of God’s will. What a wonderful gesture to ask God to make clear for family members or friends the precise, exact decisions
He wishes them to make in every circumstance.
• May walk in a manner worthy of the Lord. This means asking that someone’s life will have weight–will count eternally and not temporally.
• May bear fruit in every good work. We should pray for loved ones to remain so Christ-centered that He through them determines their conversation, conduct,
and character.
• May increase in the knowledge of God. Can there be a more precious request than that of wanting someone to grow ever closer to our heavenly Father?
• May be strengthened and sustained with the power of God. Within an evil world system, we need the supernatural power of God to help us bear up under the
strain.
• May give thanks that we already have qualified as saints of God. There is nothing for which we should be more appreciative.

because of the love of god, may we always have a special smile, a sprinkle of love and kindness to shower upon those who god brings into our lives

I believe this question breaches yahoo answers community guidelines. It is incendiary and attempting to engage others in personal communication.

Yep! Here ... Question this!
The Way = Homelessness
Jesus says "Foxes have holes in the earth and birds of the air have nests in the trees, but the Son of man has no where to lay His head."
The Truth = The "Money" Changers
Jesus drove out of the Temple or His Father's House and "said, why have you turned my Fathers house into a den of thieves."
The Life = Spirit
Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit only says the Lord
If you have none of these in your possession, then you have not denied yourself.
And on another note:
In Revelation: "and I saw the dragon open his mouth and out hopped three frogs."
The frogs are these representations:
1) Government
2) Capitalism
3) Technology
Without one or the other, the other two cannot exist. And without Technology, there is a third world country.
Jesus says "I am the WAY and the TRUTH and the LIFE, you cannot come to the Father any other WAY, but by my WAY of me."

Yes many of times. I have always lived in an abusive environment. I would pray every night for the Lord to make me a survivor. Now I am seeing this great guy. I live in a great house and have a good job. I sing and play the drums at my church and everything just seems to be falling into place.

You seem to be a bit of a high powered Christian with Scripture falling from your tongue. Good on ya. I'm not. I was reared in the Catholic faith but strayed a bit. Back to your question about prayer. Yes, it's changed my life at different times. I feel I've had help when there was none to be seen on the horizon. The belief in the power of prayer is one good thing I took from my childhood
religion.
