Hey, welcome to the podcast. My name is Mike. And grateful that you would join us today for a few minutes.

We're here, money through Friday, just kind of dive it into God's word and trying to draw closer to him. We read a verse from James, chapter 5, verse 16, that told us

the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. Now, when he talks about the prayer

of a righteous person, not talking about perfect people, we have no righteousness on her own. We are simply

people of the second chance who humbly acknowledge that it is only through the grace of Jesus that I

may right with God. He's just saying that when someone sincerely comes to God with a humble and

surrendered heart and unpacks that heart, oh, it's powerful and it's effective.

Hey, anybody out there wear glasses or contacts? I was near-sighted most of my life. Things in the

distance were pretty foggy, so I wore glasses since the sixth grade. I can remember getting

him right before baseball season when I was a kid thinking,

so that's what the ball looks like. It was awesome. And I wore glasses, hard contacts,

and gas permeable contacts, and soft disposable contacts, until I had LASIC surgery over 15 years

ago now. Now my up-close vision could be a little more challenging these days. But man, I can

like read license plates a mile away now. And I sat in that LASIC surgery chair. And after 12 seconds on

each eye, I got up out of that chair and looked at the clock. It's amazing. I can see the numbers

on the clock. I can see so much clearer now.

Prayer does that for me.
