Thought for Today: Wednesday September 03

John Knox spent much time in prayer, and the church in Scotland burst into new life. John Wesley prayed long and often, and the Methodist movement was born. Martin Luther prayed earnestly, and the Reformation exploded across Europe. SO, why was prayer so important to these men? Because they knew they were up against almost overwhelming forces of spiritual opposition… YHVH desires that we believers be concerned and burdened for a lost world. If we pray this kind of prayer, an era of peace may come to the world and wickedness may be turned back. “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avail much” (James 5:16)
