Candace Cameron Bure to Those Who Mock Prayer: They've Never Experienced Its Power

Actress Candace Cameron Bure believes deeply in the power of prayer.
The "Fuller House" star stopped by the Faithwire newsroom in New York City on Monday to discuss faith, life, her new book and plenty more, spending a fair amount of time addressing the importance of prayer in her own life.
Bure, who released the book "Staying Stylish: Cultivating a Confident Look, Style, and Attitude" this week, specifically responded to those who say "prayer isn't enough" or who mock invocations in the wake of tragedy.
"It bothers me and I feel sad for the people who write it, because the first thing I think is, 'Well, they've never experienced the power of prayer. They just don't know,'" Bure said. "Prayer, for me, is always where you start. That's the start of your solution. Then, yes, you take action."
Bure went on to offer a detailed assessment surrounding why she believes prayer is the starting place.
"If you don't start with [prayer] there's no power behind it, because God's the power," she said. "God can do anything, change anything — change hearts. It's the heart of all of us that need to be changed and that's where God needs to get in."
