Matthew 17:20-21 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. Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
I would ask that all who will, not just pray but, also fast. This helps in getting G- d's attention and also shows that you really mean it. Make sure you do it with a right heart. Wanting to get closer to G-d, seek his face. If you read in the bible there were many times when something really bad was going on the people were called to fast and pray. The early Christians did this often, but, today most don't. I would again ask that all who would, and who can, please fast and pray. The easiest fast is the dusk to dusk or say from 6:00 this evening, or whatever evening you chose, to 6:00 the following evening. If you have a medical condition that won't allow you to do this, then you can also just give up a favorite food.
