The Prayer Project

I have been reminded this week of James 5:16,

“Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another that you may be healed. The FERVENT prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.” (ESV)

I want to pray KINGDOM prayers. Prayers that have great power as they work. I have realized that I have been praying weak, self-centered, shallow prayers for most of my life. I have been so concerned with the physical comfort level of myself and those around me that I have missed praying for God’s power in my life and theirs REGARDLESS of the physical circumstances around them. 

I am committing to spending more of my time praying for individual’s salvation, for mission efforts in our world, for God’s will to be done and His kingdom to be furthered through world events, for the true spiritual and emotional brokenness I see in the lives of those around me not just their physical ailments. I am committing to spending more time praying for God to search my heart and to cleanse me that my prayers might have GREAT POWER as they are working. Please pray for my faithfulness in this, and please join me in praying KINGDOM PRAYERS and experiencing God’s power in a deeper way!
