The prayer of a righteous person is powerful
and effective! James drops this
motivating morsel at the end of his letter to Christians in trouble
(James
5:16). If prayer is such a
potent force, why do we often feel as if we’re
stuck in a rut uttering
mindless repetition before the almighty Father?
Have no fear, scripture is here!
I encourage you to put this helpful list from
scripture near your primary prayer place.
Whether it’s a kneeling bench, a closet, a bathroom, the office, or the
car, posting this prayer list in a prominent location can help you pray for the
same things early Christians did in a fresh and exciting way! Here are some
