An Effective Prayer

James 5:16, The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much,” effective prayer is defined as prayer that works.  B.J. Willhite says, “Ordinary (normal) Christians must be convinced (positive) that their prayers make a difference.  Unless a person believes that his of her prayers really make a difference he or she is not likely to pray consistently (again and again).”  God can accomplish those things without us, but in His plan He gives us the privilege of being involved with Him through prayer.  When we pray for others, we become partners with God in His work of salvation, healing, comfort, and justice.  For the Christian prayer is not an option but an opportunity.  Richard Eastman says, “In prayer; expect setbacks, but refuse retreat.  Don't tell the Lord how big the problem is, tell the problem how Great the Lord is!”
