<p>Iran (MNN) — We can’t do much to change conditions on the ground for our Christian brothers and sisters in places like Iran. But God holds the world in His hands and listens to His children’s voices.</p>
<p>In other words, prayer moves the hand of God, and conditions change that cannot be altered by human means.</p>
<p>“We are not measured or judged by the world’s standards. When we talk about results in the kingdom of heaven, we can’t get there without the spiritual element,” Lana Silk with <a href="https://www.mnnonline.org/mission_groups/transform-iran/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Transform Iran</strong></span></a> says.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>“The Word of God <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=ephesians+6%3A10-20&version=NKJV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tells us clearly</a></span> that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood. This is spiritual warfare.”</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Yet, to fight well, you must use the most effective weapons. “When we want to pray, sometimes we feel a little bit lost,” Silk says.</p>
<p>“‘Okay, great. I understand that prayer is important or that I must pray, but what do I pray? How do I pray?’”</p>
