How do we know prayer is effective in the life of the believer?

Answered in 1 source

Prayer is effective because it is the channel through which the believer communes with God, relying on His promises and power.

The effectiveness of prayer is rooted in its essence as a means of communion with God. The content highlights that Judah exemplifies this prayerful spirit, emphasizing that it is not merely external postures or repetitive phrases but a heartfelt wrestling with God. Believers draw strength and encouragement from knowing that Jesus, the ultimate intercessor, continually prays on their behalf. The assurances of God's attentiveness to prayer remind believers that their requests are never in vain; each sincere entreaty is filled with grace and power, yielding divine responses and blessings, thereby affirming prayer's centrality in the believer's life.
