I ask a few of my closest friends their thoughts on what it means to have an:  Effectual Fervent prayer life.  Their Responses:  Prayers for obedience, Starting each day in a quiet place for prayer, praying for others first then for your own needs and desires, reading Psalms and Proverbs daily, Praise God and Worship and Thank Him.

In my light hearted-nature I compared these AWESOME  Responses to what I actually find myself doing which is:  Having a full on tantrum pretty much everyday because life doesn’t appear to be moving anywhere even remotely in the direction of my hearts desire…then repenting for the tantrum and in the middle of repenting I slip back into yet another tantrum, and finally I manage to  reach a place of gratitude, with a thankful heart…With the help of a Donnie McClurkin cd.  And there in lies my  Effectual Fervent Prayer Life, all tied up in the Ministry of Music.  So what are my hopes and dreams…Well I guess for starters to stop having tantrums.

To Be Continued. Amen Amen and Amen again!
