It’s prayer that brings us into the awesome presence of God. It’s the God Who answers prayer that changes circumstance and touches lives. It’s prayer that marks the difference between mediocrity and greatness in the Christian life.
It’s not the arithmetic of our prayers, how many they are---nor the rhetoric of our prayers, how eloquent they may be---nor the geometry of our prayers, how long they be---nor the logic of our prayers, how argumentative they may be---nor the method of our prayers, how orderly they may be. it’s fervency of spirit which avails much.
God desires absolute faith that He’ll do as He has said He will do. Faith is the key that opens the vast storehouses of God's provision and pours them out on a humanity that will simply believe in God. Faith is indispensable to answered prayer.
