"Which part?" teased Adam.
"Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams
in the south. They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth,
bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves
with him."
~ Psalms 126:4-6 ~
"The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."
~ James 5:16 ~
