The Effective, Fervent Prayer: James 5:16
James 5:16
Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
So this is a verse I've come upon twice recently in my Bible reading. Its so true, and so encouraging. I just wanted to share this, that the effective (meaningful, coming to God in search of truth), fervent (earnest, passionate) prayer of a righteous man (we who have been redeemed) avails much. Prayer is so powerful, and the simple yet earnest prayer of a child of God can work wonders. I just wanted to share this with you as a reminder to always feel welcome to reach out to the Lord, knowing that He will be faithful to respond.

Summer!
SUMMER!!!
Well, summer is finally here! Time to toss the school books and have some fun! I'm home-schooled, so I've just got a bit of work left to do. Then I'm home free! Summer is always such a great time, because with your mind off of school and homework, it's the perfect season to grow in the Lord! (not that every season isn't the time) So amid the swimming, the fireworks, and the awesome everything, summer gives us a great chance to spend time with God, time that we don't normally have due to homework and other school-related things. Last summer God taught me so much, just in the every day. How I could improve my character, how I could build my faith, and how I could do more for His glory. I mean of course we all know that the summer was God's gift to all of youth, but He wants us to learn about Him too! For me personally, summer is a fantastic chance to write songs and just sing, sing, sing. So everyone have fun! Have a blast and in the middle, don't forget to give Jesus plenty of time, because He is there with you every day and He has so much to tell you! He's listening for your answer to His call.
