When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, “The Lord—he is God! The Lord—he is God!” 1 Kings 18:36-39 (NIV) I searched for a man among them who would build up a wall and stand in the gap before Me for the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one. Ezekiel 22:30 (NIV) The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.  Elijah was as human as we are, and yet when he prayed earnestly that no rain would fall, none fell for three and a half years! Then, when he prayed again, the sky sent down rain and the earth began to yield its crops.  James 5:16b-18 (NLT) LINKS: Cyndie de Neve BOOKS BY CYNDIE CLAYPOOL DE NEVE: God Confident Kids Unshaken (Co-authored with Sally Burke) Start With Praise (Co-authored with Sally Burke) MOMS IN PRAYER ·      New to Moms in Prayer?
