Prayer
To pray, really, to pray. . . ‘til the mountains of obstacles are removed . . . is God’s work and man’s best labor. (E.M. Bounds, late American author and clergyman)
To many people, prayer is only a Sunday morning church ritual or occasionally saying a rote “grace” at the table. Sometimes it might be a sudden, desperate prayer when you’re in an accident or a loved one is dying. Prayer is appropriate then, of course, but the prayer that “moves mountains,” as Bounds suggests, is a deliberate, forceful effort to secure the blessing of God.
The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. (James 5:17)
