“Jesus is a dear friend always waiting to fellowship with us.” That is a quote from a mentor of mine.

She has travelled all over the world teaching and preaching the name of Jesus. When anyone speaks of her their one constant theme is her love of Jesus. Because of her friendship with the Master her prayer life is rich and genuine.

She taught that God will answer the prayer of a saint who is in faith and praying according to His Word. Her relationship with the Lord is one anyone could follow. She makes it very easy to step in line with her to follow Him. When I went to Bible School she was an instructor. She held a class after school about prayer and she would lead us in prayer. Her prayer was for the precious fruit of the earth, for laborers to be sent into the harvest, for nations to repent and sinners to know Christ.

She was confident and her prayers were filled with Scripture. Her prayers were not uncertain, doubtful or insecure. She prayed boldly and confidently and led us right into the Throne Room of God. Her boldness dripped with love for Jesus. When the class was over the room was so full of the presence of God no one wanted to leave.

We can pray that way too. When we have Jesus living in our hearts we can come boldly to His throne and ask for things according to His Word. He wants us to do that. He wants to fellowship with us!
