Prayer should not be underestimated. James 5:16 declares, "The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working." Through prayer miracles happen and impossible things become possible. But prayer's potency is neither the result of the person praying nor the uttering of magic formulas. Instead, the power resides in the God to whom the prayers are made.

If there has ever been a time when we have needed God's blessings, it's now when the economy is in a deep recession. But God doesn't bless arbitrarily; he requires that our hearts be right before him. And, an indicator of how our hearts are is how rich we are towards the things of God. In the "Blessings from God" series, we'll examine the connection between our finances and our hearts, and the promises of God to bless all who are generous towards him.
