"The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much", James 5:16. Prayer is a two-way conversation with God. It is the most intimate relationship with the Creator you can have. In prayer, the depths of your spirit are in communion with the depths of the Spirit of God. Out of this can come instruction, guidance, and suggestions for new focal points in your prayers. Each of us has problems that we cannot solve and weaknesses that we cannot conquer without reaching out through prayer to God.
