While out promoting her new book, "Staying Stylish: Cultivating a Confident Look, Style and Attitude," "Fuller House" star Candace Cameron Bure took the time to discuss her faith and highlight the importance of prayer in her day-to-day life.

The actress knows that not everybody believes in the power of prayer. A lot of people are actually dismissive of the role of prayer in changing lives and helping the downtrodden. But Bure said critics should not knock it until they've tried it.

"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 told Faithwire. "Prayer, for me, is always where you start. That's the start of your solution. Then, yes, you take action."

Bure said it's important to start with prayer because it rallies God's power. And with God on your side, everything is possible. "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," she said.

Bure said that she does not feel balanced when she doesn't take the time to pray each day. By talking to God, Bure said she is appealing to "His truths and not [her] own emotions." "If I've got a tough day, God's right there with me by my side," Bure explained, adding that many people fail to realize that it is "an open dialogue with God at any time of the day or night."

Bure is very outspoken about her faith. One time, she was even criticized by a drag queen when she wore a shirt that reads, "Not Today Satan." Bianca Del Rio, a winner of "RuPaul's Drag Race," took a screenshot of Bure's photo and posted it on her own Instagram page. She captioned it, "IF ONLY THIS HOMOPHOBIC REPUBLICAN KNEW."

When she saw the post, Bure got upset because she feels she is not homophobic. She replied on Del Rio's page: "Why do you have to be nasty to me? You don't know me or my heart. I'm not homophobic and always sad when people think otherwise. Loving Jesus doesn't mean I hate gay people or anyone. You sent a bunch of hateful people to my page writing horrible things. I hope next time you'll spread love and kindness, even when you disagree with people. Sending you love and wish you all the best. Truly. —Candace."
