Let's look at the elements of an effective prayer life.

Fervency

JAMES 5:16-18 (Worrell)

16 . . . A righteous man's inwrought supplication avails much.

17 Elijah was a man of like nature with us; and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it rained not on the earth for three years and six months;

18 And again he prayed, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth its fruit. Effective prayer involves fervency.

The Bible teaches that we are always to be ". . . fervent in spirit..." (Rom. 12:11).

W. E. Vine says the word translated "fervent" in Romans 12:11 means to be hot; to boil. Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible adds that figuratively it means to be earnest.

Epaphrus was "laboring fervently" for the Colossians in prayers (Col. 4:12). The Greek word agonizomai, translated "laboring fervently," indicates a striving, a wrestling.
