“The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous one avails much.”
James 5:16b
If there’s anything we need right now, it’s active and powerful prayer by God’s people that produces results.
But a lot can get in the way of that, and that can be confusing and discouraging.
There’s an easy-to-read booklet, though, that addresses many of the concerns we all have. It’s called Effective Prayer Life, written by Pastor Chuck Smith, founder of Calvary Chapel.
It’s simple and to the point, and very encouraging.
The chapters start with the basics: What is Prayer?, and continues with The Purpose of Prayer, The Privilege of Prayer, Effective Prayer, Strength in Prayer, Pray, and I will Answer, and Sin of Prayerlessness.
The book’s been around for decades so a paperback can be found for as little as 3 or 4 dollars, $0 for kindle.
I hope (and pray!) that whether it’s through this booklet or something else, the Lord will fan the flames of our faith, and we would each grow in our desire to pray, in the Spirit, prayers that would move mountains.
For Him,
