“The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]…”
(James 5:16, AMP)
I love the reality of this verse! Prayer makes tremendous power available—in our marriage, family, ministry, work and every area of our lives. Through prayer, we can make “deposits” into our future! What type of deposits have you been making?
I have found a great sense of peace in certain seasons of life; when I knew that prayer deposits had been made, it was easy to have faith for “withdrawals” from Heaven’s Powerhouse. Prayer makes tremendous power available. That means, without prayer this tremendous power may not be available. God’s mercy is always available, but many times we need “tremendous power” and this comes through prayer!
Prayer was never intended to be boring, ineffective or dutiful. When it comes to prayer, we should be “feelin’ it!” So, if you need a prayer booster shot—pray earnestly, continually and in a heartfelt manner. When you pray, remind yourself that you are putting God’s power on “deposit”—you are making tremendous power available and in a time of need the Lord will send that dynamic power to do its work!
Say This:
Father, today I ask You to help me put this Scripture into practice. I don’t want my prayer life to be boring, predictable or full of vain repetition. Help me to pray earnestly, continually and in a heartfelt manner for the things You put on my heart. Thank You that my prayers make tremendous power available! In Jesus Name. Amen.
