Do you often wonder if your prayers make a difference? Andrew Murray states, "Though in its beginnings prayer is so simple that the most helpless child can pray, yet it is at the same time the highest and holiest work to which man can rise."
We often speak of prayer as the centerpiece of our Christian walk, while at the same time failing to practice the art of prayer. Perhaps prayer is an intellectual exercise which plays no real part in our daily lives. If prayer is truly the source of power for our personal Christian walk and the source of power for all of our ministering work, then it must became an integral part of our daily lives. It is my hope that through reading and reflecting on the writings of Andrew Murray, we can learn the joy and blessings of effectual prayer. What a blessing it will be when prayer regains its rightful place as the fragrant bouquet that graces the center of our spirituality.
Do you cry out for a deeper fellowship with your beloved Father? It is not only possible, but a promise. In faith, lay hold of this promise!
John 15:7
If you abide in Me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. (ESV)

About Me
- Sarah Wightman
- As a child my best friends were the characters in my favorite books. Ann Shirley was a kindred spirit and Jo March was a role model for life and all things wonderful. I rode the back of the black stallion as he flew down the race track, his hot foamy breath filling my nostrils. And of course, the Hardy brothers stole my heart and captured my imagination. I fell in love with words and the pictures one can paint with a finely crafted story. Writing is a sacred endeavor. It is my prayer that the words that grace this page will be pleasing to you and to my Creator.
