The Power of Prayer

How God Works Across Time, Distance, and the Human Heart

By: Geoffrey Schmitt

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Prayer is often treated as a technique, a transaction, or a last resort. In The Power of Prayer: How God Works Across Time, Distance, and the Human Heart, Geoffrey Schmitt invites readers into a deeper, truer understanding: prayer as relationship, presence, and formation.

Drawing on Scripture (KJV), decades of pastoral ministry, prison outreach, prayer groups, and lived experience, this study explores how prayer operates beyond ordinary limits—across time and distance, through suffering and silence, within community notes and personal longing. Each chapter unfolds prayer not as something that controls outcomes, but as something that steadily reshapes the one who prays.

With honesty about unanswered prayers and hope grounded in resurrection, this book offers a faithful companion for anyone who has prayed sincerely and wondered what difference it makes. Rather than teaching readers how to pray “correctly,” it teaches them how to remain—present, trusting, and attentive to God’s enduring nearness.

This is a book for those who pray often, those who struggle to pray, and those who have found that prayer has become less about words and more about how they live.
