More powerful prayer news

Meet Larry Langford, the Lord's Own Mayor of Birmingham, AL:
Langford traded in his Gus Mayer suits for a burlap sack, although he did still wear a Rolex watch and designer shoes.

"The only reason he is here is because God put him here," T. L. Lewis, pastor of Bethel Baptist Church, said of Mayor Langford at the end of a lengthy and raucous sermon.

Lewis told the crowd not to tolerate "journalistic terrorism" and said that no one could harm Langford because God was protecting him.
Langford sports sackcloth, ashes, Rolex (Watch the videos.)

Now, just a sweeping second hand minute:
[Larry Langford] was sued by the Securities and Exchange Commission for allegedly accepting more than $156,000 from a friend whose investment-banking firm collected fees on municipal-bond offerings and swap agreements while the mayor oversaw the finances of Jefferson County.
