1 John 5:16-17 Prayer can be very effective. If we can pray and God will restore us, then shouldn't prayer be a high priority for us? Shouldn't we love one another that much and have that much faith in God? We need to be devoted to prayer!

Come with the Grace United crew as we hear God's call resonate down through the ages: "Give me your heart."
