“The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” James 5:16 . “Prayer is greatly aided by fasting and watching and every kind of bodily chastisement.

Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? Luke 15:8 . . “Even though we are dust and ashes, God makes us feel that we matter to Him. How wonderful is this living God who gives so much attention. The limitless being, the One Great God, looks down from His holy heights, to the insignificant creatures on earth. Even if one small coin is lost, he is concerned about it, and searches it until He finds it… God is with you whether…
