Why and How I Painted The Fervent Prayer Painting In Oil and Acrylic
Written by Margaret Lukasik
My Inspiration To Paint "The Fervent Prayer"
"The Fervent Prayer" depicts a young woman immersed in a moment of profound prayer. The scene is set within a soft pastel background rather than a dimly lit room, creating a sense of joy and peace, and casting a sense of calm over the woman's face.
The atmosphere is hushed and reverent, evoking a sense of quiet contemplation and spiritual connection. I painted the woman's hands clasped in front of her chest with her eyes closed in deep concentration to give the sense of inner trust and knowing that the earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces great results according to James 5:16. This is one of my favorite verses, so I wanted to represent it on canvas.
This painting is also my vision of the many women I've known and admired for their earnest prayers that have changed lives, countries and turned negative circumstances into positive situations.
Through prayer we can't change every aspect of negativity in the world because God gave mankind a free will, but we can trust God to work in people where their heart can be submitted to His will for truth and blessings.
