The Power of Prevailing Prayer

PRAYER is God's appointed way for humanity to reach his throne of favor. The answer may be deferred, not because God fails to hear, or from a lack of power; but because of the workings of his love and wisdom. To nothing can he be readier to grant an answer than to requests for the repentance and conversion of those in whom we are interested; but he forces no one to love him. He will, however, continue to send heavenly messengers, and thus heaven's atmosphere, to the one for whom we continue to pray. Thus our prayers may prevail, and we may enter into the joy of the Saviour in the salvation of souls. “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”
