Prayer is so very important in these dark days before Jesus comes. There is much that prayer can accomplish.
Yes, prophecy must be fulfilled, but prayers can lessen the harshness of it! Don't be deceived, the enemy of our souls does NOT want us to pray! Why do you think you get sleepy when you start to pray or read your Bible! Time with the Lord in Prayer and reading of the Word - along with putting on the Armour of God every day and Pleading the Blood of Jesus over our sins and transgressions (with a humble, repentant spirit) ... these are offensive weapons of our warfare!
Anna in the Bible The Anna Calling
Jesus made a reference to Isaiah’s prophecy about day-and-night prayer when He promised that it would result in a great release of justice to the earth (Lk. 18:1–8).
Shall not God bring about justice for His elect, who cry to Him day and night? He will bring about justice for them . . . When the Son of Man comes [second coming], will He find faith on the earth?” (Lk. 18:7–8, NAS)
In verse 8, Jesus connected the call to night-and-day prayer to the timing of His return to the earth. It is important to notice that this parable was given in conclusion to what He had just taught about the end times in Luke 17:22–36. In other words, He connected His release of justice in the earth during the end times to night-and-day prayer, and, in verse 8, Jesus referred to the generation in which He returns.

Joy Isaiah 61:10-11
In these end times when Jesus' return is so close, we need to be about our Father's business in greater effort than we have ever done before. We have Seconds left - however long a second is to God - mere SECONDS! Pray!!!!!
Prophetic Word: I HAVE CLOSED A DOOR-THERE IS NO TURNING BACK NOW
