Do not give up

Do not accept the temptation to give up! The adage “Prayer changes things” is more than a trite phrase, a willful wish or a powerless Christian cliché. I know that on the surface prayer seems like an incredibly ineffective weapon in the face of such malignant hatred and violence toward the Jewish people. Yet I am convinced that if we were ever to realize the true power of Spirit-directed and Spirit-inspired prayer, we would be shocked.
...The significance of the power of prayer is not based upon the strength or ability of the person praying. Rather, it is rooted in the immeasurable power of God and the awesome force He releases in response to fervent intercession. As the Scriptures declare, “The effective prayer of righteous man can accomplish much” (James 5:16). ~~ James W. Goll, The Coming Israel Awakening
