21 Day Fast Day 12
The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.
Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. Then he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit.””
James 5:16-18 (ESV)
Prayer is not a religious routine—it is an act of faith that releases the power of God into our lives and circumstances. When we pray, we are not speaking into the air; we are coming before our loving Father, the Almighty God who hears us and moves in response to our prayers.
Scripture reminds us that prayer flows from relationship. Because we have been made righteous through Christ, our prayers carry power and authority—not because of who we are, but because of who He is. God delights in the prayers of His children, and He works through them to bring salvation, healing, restoration, wisdom, and breakthrough.
Jesus Himself modeled a life saturated in prayer. He prayed before major decisions, in moments of need, and in quiet places of intimacy with the Father. Prayer anchored His life and empowered His ministry. When we pray, we align our hearts with heaven and invite God’s will to be done here on earth.
Let’s pray…
Father, thank you for the gift of prayer and relationship with you. Thank you that I can come boldly before Your throne of grace through the precious blood of Jesus. Teach me to pray with faith, persistence, and trust, believing that You are at work even when I cannot see it. Holy Spirit lead me. Let my prayers be powerful and effective aligned with Your will. Father, Holy is your name! Your Kingdom come and your will be done here on earth as it is in heaven. In Jesus’ name, amen!
