In "A Callous on Every Knee," Jim Cymbala reflects on the significance of fervent prayer, drawing inspiration from the example of Epaphras in Colossians 4:12. Cymbala emphasizes that intercessory prayers hold immense importance, both to God and to us. He encourages a sacrifice of comfort, persistent wrestling in prayer, and a deep longing for God's intervention. Revival is promised for those who earnestly seek it, as God's grace and power are unleashed when we pray. Let us embrace the call to be fervent intercessors.
