The power of fervent prayer
Do you remember the Biblical story of the widow and the unjust judge? The judge was a harsh man but the widow keeps bothering him.
Finally, the unjust judge says to her that because of her persistence, she can have what she wants. Friends, God is not unjust at all so be assured that God answers prayer, and do not lose heart.
Even if your prayers are not answered immediately, do not stop praying. There are many examples in the Bible and in actual life where God answered prayers even if it was seemingly late.
God often has a greater purpose for answering prayers in His time, not ours.
Daniel prayed and his answer was dispatched immediately from God but evil angels stopped it from coming to Daniel for three weeks. But, eventually, his prayers were answered. Shall not the Judge of all the earth do justly?
Prayer has a powerful effect on the individual and on society as a whole. Prayers also have the ability to change the environment and bring about positive changes.

In those times, it was easy to feel overwhelmed and helpless. But thankfully, I was able to turn to prayer as a way of finding hope and strength through difficult circumstances.
I found it easy to pray for my friends and family members, knowing that they were in good hands with their God.

Releasing the power of God through prayer
We must learn to release the power of prayer in our lives and others’ lives. Prayers can release tremendous power and bring healing, deliverance, and revival to the nations of the world.
James 5.14-17 mentions that the persistent, continual, forceful prayers of the righteous person are powerful and effective. Elijah is the model of prayer there. Elijah was a man of like passions, in other words, he was an ordinary person.
But when he prayed, the heavens closed for three and a half years. And when he prayed again, the heavens opened up and there was rain in the land. God answers every prayer that you pray in Jesus’ Name.
Elijah had learned how to release the power of God through prayer. James implied that we too can do the same if we pray persistently and sincerely.
So, to conclude, we must learn that there is tremendous power in persistent prayer. So we must release this power by praying as much as we can and some more.
