Fervent Prayer

• James 5:17 (ESV)

---

In church we looked at Elijah and this verse was referenced. Reading it again tonight, God spoke clearly... He hit me with this thought, "What in your life is so important that you would be willing to fervently pray for it?" Do i view lost souls as important enough to be on my knees about? Is my marriage worth it?
Talk about self inventory. Of course there are always things that would qualify, but why don't I do it?
I can think of three main reasons...
First, its pride. Self absorption will kill my prayer life
Second, lack of belief prayer will work. If I don't truly believe, why would God move?
Third is apathy. It goes back to is it important.
My prayer is that God breaks me through all of the reasons and makes me as Elijah was .
