American Legion Dear Heart of Jesus, In the past I have asked for favors. This time I ask you this very special one (mention favor). Take it dear Jesus, and place it within your own heart where your Father sees it. Then in your merciful eyes it will become your favor, not mine. Amen. Say this prayer for 3 days, promise publication and favor will be granted. Never known to fail. NA
