📌 QUESTION OF THE WEEK — May 19, 2026

From James Langston’s book, Real Answers to Life's Tough Questions (2nd Edition)
Available on Amazon

✉️ From: Selma, 16 — Paterson, New Jersey

“Hi Pastor James. I’ve been saved for 3 years, 6 months, and 85 days, but I still struggle to understand prayer. What is the purpose of prayer?”

Selma, thank you for your honesty. Your question is one millions of Christians—young and old—have quietly wrestled with. The truth is, prayer is not about sounding perfect or using fancy words. Prayer is simply talking to God from your heart.

Prayer is where fear meets faith.
Where confusion meets peace.
Where weakness meets strength.
And where broken people encounter a loving God.

Prayer is more than asking God for things. It is how we build a relationship with Him. Through prayer, we seek wisdom, direction, comfort, forgiveness, healing, and courage for everyday life.

Some of the greatest battles people face are invisible: anxiety, loneliness, depression, temptation, family struggles, broken relationships, fear about the future, and silent pain no one else sees. Prayer reminds us that we do not face those battles alone.

The Bible says:

“The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth.” — Psalm 145:18

Prayer will not make you perfect overnight, but it will draw you closer to the One who changes hearts and lives.

If you struggle with prayer, do not quit. Start simple. Start honest. Start today.

🙏 Prayer changes things.

We are praying for you, Selma—and for everyone reading this today.
