Welcome to Daily Growth Point, I’m Pastor John Bingham.

Over the years, there have been times that I have been awed by the prayers of other saints. Some whose love for God was so evident, that they like Mary found themselves with tears at the feet of Jesus.

Others, whose intimate connection with God was so close that it was as if two friends were conversing.

Or still others, whose prayers left you humbled that you felt privileged to sit in as a quiet observer.

What makes the difference? James says, “The effectual fervent prayer of righteous man availeth much.” Their prayers are powerful because they are from the heart.

William Carrey said, “Secret, fervent, believing prayer lies at the root of all personal godliness.” May we seek the Lord with the same passion which accompanied Jesus’ prayer life.
