In Mark Chapter 11:22-25 Jesus speaks about the key part that desire in prayer plays to see the kind of results we are looking for.

We take the following definitions from Mary Alice Isleib’s chapter on the subject of fervency:

“Fervency means to pray with purpose, with serious intention.”

“To pray with fervency means to pray with intensity. It also means that you give your being to God, and you let Him fill it with divine yearning. Your degree of fervency is directly related to the degree of your spiritual desire.”

“When you pray with fervency, you pray the different kinds of prayer out of your heart, and you pray them strong, with intensity, following and flowing along with the Holy Spirit inside of you.”

“Fervency is surrendering your feelings or your soul to the feelings of the Holy Spirit. It is allowing Him to express Himself through your mind, will and emotions when you pray.”
