What Prayer Isn't

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Dec 11, 2023

Even though we pray, we may wonder at times: “Why do I pray? What does it accomplish?” Along the way, we may pick up some misperceptions. I want to talk about what prayer isn’t.

The widow of the parable was pretty frustrated.

We have the ...read more
