Prayer

The Bible tells us that the effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man accomplishes much.

Are these adjectives (effectual, fervent and righteous) prerequisites for a prayer to "accomplish" much? I know I don't meet the "righteous" one.

Guess that's why I'm glad the Holy Spirit makes intercession for me with groaning which cannot be uttered. I'm pretty sure He's righteous, and that His prayers are effectual and fervent.

Only problem is -- odds are -- He tends to pray for what I need, not what I want.
