But I also know that some of my weakest prayers have been answered in powerful ways. I do know what you’re saying. But I have to be careful and not begin to rely on my power to influence God to answer my prayers. Because none of the power rests in me. I don’t mean that as a disagreement with what you said—I’m a writer struggling to convey an idea too!

If we pray with urgency, zeal, and the truth of God's word behind our prayers, I believe God listens more intently. All requests are important, but how I pray is more important to me than what I pray. Hope that makes sense. Sometimes even writers struggle to find the right words. I know these are right...
