This is not where we belong. We are hardly from this world, rather we are only IN this world. I'm only some random teenager, but I'm doing what I can to tell people what they need to hear. This world is falling fast and hard and there's only one way to stand: we can stand on Jesus Christ.

The Effective, Fervent Prayer

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.

    I believe that too! HE is so interested in communicating with us. Sometimes it may seem so easy to skip a prayer here or there. But I have soo much more peace when I cast it all upon Him knowing He is hearing me. Life just seems so much better when I spend time talking with Him. It really is the healing we daily need! You are so encouraging, Avery!
