Do you sometimes feel that your prayers are not effective? James 5:6 states, “..the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much”.
 
If you want your prayers to become effective, you must learn to release your faith when you pray. Hebrews 11:1 states, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.” Therefore, faith is seeing and knowing in advance that what you have asked of God you have received. 
 
Your Prayers Count will teach you how to see answers in the spiritual realm before seeing them in the physical realm. Then, as you grow and mature in your faith and prayer life, you will no longer dwell in the realm of asking, but you will move into a realm of believing and receiving.
