“The effectual, fervent prayers of the righteous availeth much,” so says James 5:16b. That means there must be energy behind our prayers. That means we have to really want what we are praying for. No wonder it sometimes takes desperation and persecution to drive us to desire the things of God more than life or necessary food.
Father, if my prayer is lacking fervency, help me to love you more and to understand that this is what you require if I am to have what I ask for. It is not necessarily tears that move You, but a deep desire for your heart! Amen!
