"It is the effectuial fervant prayer of righteous man that availeth much. That's your and my responsibility, not just the professionals. We both need support to prevail in prayer."
I agree 100% But you and I live "in the world" and just as you and I have not lived the training life of Olympic marathoners so that we can jog, neither have we lead the prayer life of holy monastics in the "spiritual meadow" of monasticism.
Granted, but they haven't lived in the trenches of the arena of the world and had to pray their way through like you and me. God gives to each what is necessary to conform us to the image of His Son who had to fight like we do in this world and then told us to live like He did trusting and praying through.
