Are your prayers effective? Are your prayers answered?

“In Ephesians 6:18, we read words that show the incredible importance of prayer very clearly and forcefully: “Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints.” When we really stop to understand the meaning of these words and their context, we will say, “I must pray, pray, pray. I must put all my energy and all my heart into prayer. Whatever else I do, I must pray.”

Note the use of the word “all”: “at all times,” “with all prayer,” “with all perseverance,” “for all the saints.” Note all the strong words: “prayer,” “supplication,” “perseverance.” See the strong expression: “keep alert.” Paul realized that humans are naturally lazy, especially towards prayer. How seldom we pray things through! How often do the church and the individual get right to the verge of a great blessing in prayer and just then let go, get drowsy, and quit? I wish these words “keep alert” would burn into our hearts. I wish the whole verse would burn into our hearts.”

— R. A. Torrey

“How to Prayer Effectively” is a prayer classic that effortlessly guides even the most seasoned person of prayer into more profound, more significant prayer. It will renew your desire to seek God in prayer and guide you in best practices. Filled with a spirit of graciousness, Pastor, evangelist, and author R. A. Torrey explains the elements of biblical, powerful prayer that avail much. Torrey reveals that there is more to it than just mouthing requests to God. There is more to prayer than reciting the Lord's Prayer or following a technique. It is a way to find the very heart and will of God and have faith to see Him move as a result of us on our knees. You too can pray effectively. As Torrey says, “Pray for great things, expect great things, work for great things, but above all pray.”
