We will remember them.

THE POWER OF PRAYER
'Pray without ceasing.' 1 Thessalonians 5:17
When the Bible says, 'Pray without ceasing,' that
means pray every day, not just periodically or
when you're in trouble. 'The effective, fervent
prayer of a righteous man avails much' (James
5:16 NKJV). The word 'fervent' means passionate,
persistent and determined. It's not the number 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 may be;
nor the music of our prayers, how sweet our voice
may be; nor the logic of our prayers, how
argumentative they may be; nor the method of our
prayers, how orderly they may be; nor even the
theology of our prayers, how good the doctrine is,
that God responds to. Fervency of spirit is what
'avails much'. The most powerful thing you can do
is pray! And when you join with a prayer partner,
your potential is awesome. 'If two of you agree on
earth concerning anything that [you] ask, it will be
done for them by My Father in heaven' (Matthew
18:19 NKJV). It works like this: the less you pray,
the less you want to pray; the more you pray, the
more you want to pray. Nothing will motivate you
to pray like answered prayer. But you can't start
with the answer; you've got to start with the
prayer! Here's a fact of life: we only keep doing
what rewards us. So the key to building a great
prayer life is to pray until you get answers. Think
how deeply rooted doubt can become in our hearts
when we're actually surprised to find our prayers
answered! So pray in faith and expect God to
answer!
