A Thought From the Intentional Living Center

Powerful, Purposeful Prayer

Dr. Randy Carlson When you determine to make prayer a daily, dynamic part of your life, your heart will change, and others will be impacted by your actions. Prayer in Scripture The prophet Elijah was identified in Scripture as a man of God, chiefly because he was first and foremost a man of prayer. When the apostle James chose to write about prayer, he used Elijah as an illustration of powerful, effective prayer. In response to Elijah’s intercessions during a time of severe drought, “the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.” (James 5:18 NIV) How many lives were literally saved through God’s answer to Elijah’s fervent prayers? Elijah’s prayers had purpose because
  • He was in regular communication with God.
  • He prayed for God’s will to be accomplished, not his own.
  • He was persistent, never giving up.
Such prayer, backed by the very power of God, is not beyond you. But it does start with you making a choice to prioritize prayer, and then following through with that commitment. Don’t relegate prayer to a last resort, attempted only when nothing else works. Don’t let prayer be a crutch used only to help you feel better. Instead, make prayer the foundation of your relationship with God, and the means through which His mighty power and purpose is unleashed.
