What prayer does

Prayer is not the least you can do, but the very most that you can do. Think about it. If it's the most you can do, then why don't you pray more?
Prayer is powerful, and if you want My power, then you must pray. What is prayer? It's your link with the Divine. It's communication. It's tapping into the Source. It's faithfulness to the greatest duty of man. Prayer is rest, faith, complete trust.
Prayer brings down My peace upon you. Prayer gets action. It lifts you up. Prayer changes the course of history. Prayer heals. Prayer revives. Prayer restores. Prayer builds. Prayer is humility. Prayer is My love. Prayer moves My hand and spurs Me to action. Prayer gets results. Prayer is saving grace for mankind.
Most importantly, prayer makes us one. Prayer melts us together, so that you might partake of My powers.

Magic words

“I’m sorry” can put an end to almost any argument or other problem between people. You may still feel somewhat justified in your position, but if you can at least say you’re sorry for having gotten into an argument and having let whatever it was come between you, you’ll be on the path to reconciliation. Being quick to apologize is one of the smartest things you can do.
Saying you are sorry isn’t always easy. It takes a strong, concerned person to be able to admit being wrong, yet many people consider this a sign of weakness. I’m not talking about having an excuse-me-for-living attitude, where you apologize for everything you do. That is a sign of weak character. But when you get into an argument or make a mistake and have the sense to recognize and admit that you were wrong and apologize, that’s a sign of strength in My book.
There is, however, one word that takes the healing magic out of “I’m sorry.” When you add “but,” it means you’re intent on pressing your point until the other person sees things your way. That’s not the way to overcome differences! Saying “I’m sorry” requires humility, but if you can say it and mean it, it works magic!
