The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous an avails much. James 5:16



All throughout the bible you can read accounts of ordinary people’s faith and the effectiveness of their prayer life. For one instance, Elijah prayed it would not rain, and it didn’t for three straight years. When he prayed for rain, it rained. His faith and trust in God was on display for others to see. God responded to each request and the people of Israel restored their faith in God.  



I think of my grandmother, Nedra, and her prayers. We, as a family, use to always joke that Grandma had a direct phone line to God. When she prayed, God responded in a powerful way. We could always trust Grandma was praying for us and when we requested her to pray for a specific request….we saw God in action.



Maybe you need an answered prayer to something you are going through. Clean out your life by removing the purposeful sin, ask for God’s forgiveness and come clean before Him as you begin your prayers. God will respond when you fall in line with His will and remain obedient to Him. Pray and believe in God, He believed in you enough to sacrifice His Son so you could commune with Him on a daily basis! Pray an effective prayer today and see the results! God bless!
