Earnest Prayers

 

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE

"The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes
tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]"

(James 5:16b, AMP)

 

TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria

God loves it when you come boldly to Him! When we pray with an attitude of
faith and expectancy, it shows that we believe God and His Word and that
opens the door for Him to move on our behalf. 

Today's verse tells us that when we pray earnestly and continually that it
makes tremendous power available. Think about a little child asking his
mother for something he really wants. That child doesn't just ask once. Or
twice. He asks continually! He doesn't just walk away if he doesn't get an
answer right away. That child builds his case and gives every reason he
should get what he is asking for! 

Scripture tells us to come to God with the faith of a child. It's not that
we have to beg Him, but our determination is an expression of our faith in
His goodness. When we build our case with the Word of God, we are setting
ourselves up to partake of His divine blessing. Today, whatever you need,
make your requests known to God. Come to Him with the faith of child. Pray
earnestly and continually and watch His power work on your behalf!

 

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father God, today I come boldly thanking You for Your goodness and
faithfulness in my life. I lift up my heart in faith to You knowing that my
earnest prayers open the door for Your power to move on my behalf! In Jesus'
Name. Amen.
