praise for prayer & pray we'd pray!

James 5:16b

"The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective"

Prayer is an essential part of God's plan to accomplish His will on earth. We cannot always understand just why and how prayer works. But Scripture assures us that prayer is necessary both to us and to the accomplishment of God's work in the world. Powerful, effective prayer has a goal (the revealed will of God) and a promise (the assurance of God). When we pray in God's will according to God's promises, then our prayer is powerful and effective. We must remember that part of God's will is that we "make disciples of all nations." He has promised to be with us to the end of the age as we pursue this objective.

Dear Father, teach us how to effectively intercede for the peoples of the world, who long to know Your truth.
