About this episode

Marietta Yoder discusses the significance and impact of intercessory prayer in ministry and personal faith.

April 4, 2026 Strength to Strength Sisters welcomed Marietta Yoder to discuss the power of intercessory prayer. "The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." —James 5:16 Without prayer, ministry becomes a human effort that is like the vapor, shadow, grass. It will not last–only burn up. It becomes a burden-an idol. Prayer causes the work you are engaged in to be eternal. Prayer opens people’s heart to the Redeemer. Prayer connects us to God so that His will is lived out on earth. Prayer preserves a people from destruction. It connects your spirit to the Fountain of great fruitfulness. I will try to answer the following questions: - How do I keep from getting bored while praying? - If God wants to do something anyway, than why do I have to pray it? - Why don’t we see answers to prayer? - What examples are there of praying believers who overcame problems? https://strengthtostrength.org/the-power-of-intercessory-prayer/
