Jesus prayed all night on a mountain.  At daybreak, He announced the names of His disciples.  His overnight season of prayer affected the whole Kingdom of God.

How often we “throw up a prayer” like a football pass that is incomplete.  The patient process of prayer is like a huddle that yields understanding of the play, unity with the Heavenly Coach, and coordination with the other teammates.  Touchdown!

“The effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”  (James 5:16)

DAILY PRAYER:  Lord, thank You for Your example of prayer to us.  It’s our desire to more intimately know You, thereby discovering Your perfect will for our lives.

DAILY READING:  Deut. 24-6;  Luke 6
