When Ordinary People Pray by Brian Houston

Effective prayer is 
1) Transparent 

2) Unselfish 
 James 5:16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. 

3) Knows its authority 
In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Rise up and walk (Acts 3:6)

4) Fervent 

God answers the prayers of the righteous.
Who are the righteous? 
US. we are the righteousness of God in Christ. Christ has made us righteous. 

Never underestimate the power of prayer.

The way i look at it, i have 2 choices. 

#1 i can sit here and cry my eyes out 

or 

#2 i can get on with my day/my life/ my studies 

#1 is easy, #2 requires more willpower. i don't know how much strength i have

i know i should look to God for strength. but sometimes it's so difficult
