The Power of Prevailing Prayer: Lessons from John Wesley

“You will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:13) In his book Prevailing Prayer, Eli Wigle highlights John Wesley’s extraordinary prayer life. Wesley spent two hours daily in private prayer, sometimes gathering with followers to pray all night until they felt God’s presence. He trusted prayer for every need. When pain or fever struck during a sermon, he paused, called on Jesus, and experienced immediate healing. His persistent prayers ignited both heaven’s power and people’s consciences. Wesley prayed long because he saw it as a refining force. He believed God’s will was the perfect plan and trusted that prayers aligned with it would always be heard (1 John 5:14).
