An awesome quote from Perelandra by C.S. Lewis:  "In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, here goes -- I mean Amen," said Ransom, and hurled the stone as hard as he could...

I LOVE that quote.  It is so true, and a good reminder when we forget that our prayers are powerful and effective weapons!  James 5:16 says, "The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective."  I was thinking about that verse one day and thought that it fails to comfort me, as I fall so short of righteousness... but then it struck me that we have a great High Priest in heaven, interceding on our behalf... "Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." ~ Hebrews 4:14-16  He is a righteous Man, and His prayers for us are powerful and effective.

So here goes.

I mean, Amen.

Good post.
