The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
Effectiveness is the belief that our prayers have power over everything.
Prayer meets our inner needs removing fear, strengthening us, and providing guidance and wisdom. Prayer is effective in the lives of others giving them comfort, inner strength, spiritual knowledge and guidance and equipping them for what is to come. 8 Those who regard worthless idols Forsake their own Mercy. Salvation is of the Lord. So the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
