• Our prayers are vital to our Lord. He works through them. I was led to the fifth chapter of James: Believing prayer will save the sick man; the Lord will restore him and any sins that he has committed will be forgiven.... Tremendous power is made available through a good man's earnest prayer.... Thus our prayer releases this power into the person for whom we plead.
