“Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:” ~ Isaiah 59:1 kjv The first verse in Isaiah 59 is one of my favorites regarding the power of prayer. When we pray we have to realize nothing is too hard for the Lord! NOTHING! His Almighty Hand can handle it all!

Day 12 – What God Teaches Us From Such Little Things
“And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” ~ Matthew 17:20 It’s wonderful how God has used “small things” to show us that small things really do count.
