Wayward Conviction

If the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much, should the wayward woman bother to send prayers up? Will her sincerity carry juxtapose to her sins? Does her petitions reach Heaven or dwindle in the wind? Like gifts without love, are prayers without piety clanging gongs and clashing cymbals? Tell me is there a hierarchy system based on conversion? Can she pray without ceasing and remain firm in her perversions? Is that grace, hypocrisy, or reprobation? She withdraws these questions from your consideration. For she is persuaded that if the metric is righteousness or wickedness, her prayers cannot be weighted.
