The other night I attended a huge event at my church in St. Louis with key speaker, author, and actress, Priscilla Shirer. Priscilla Shirer is the leading star in the new Christian movie The War Room, which is currently the top selling movie in the nation. The event was called The Fervent Tour.
What does fervent mean? I decided to look it up. According to the dictionary, fervent means “having or showing great warmth or intensity of spirit, feeling, or enthusiasm.” Being fervent in prayer means to actually feel what you are praying for or saying, not just going through the motions or memorization. Fervent means praying prayers that aren’t lifeless, boring, routine, but rather strong, targeted, and full of feeling.
