Power In Prayer
The effective, fervent prayer of
a righteous man avails much.
James 5:16
I'm so glad there's power in prayer. James says that
"the effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much"
{5:16}. But does "effective" and "fervent" mean the harder we
pray, or the more people we ask to pray, the
more likely God is to answer with a yes? I've
had enough "no" and "wait" answers to wonder about that.
Prayer is powerful, but it's such a mystery. We're
taught to have faith, to ask earnestly and bodly, to
persevere, to be surrendered to His will. Yet God answers in
His wisdom and His answers are best. I'm just thankful that
God wants to hear our hearts and that no matter the
answer, He is still good.
Prayer and helplessness are inseperable. Only those who are
helpless can truly pray...Your helplessness
is your best prayer. We can do helpless quite well.
Prayer is the child's helpless cry
to the Father's attentive ear.
In His Love!
