    We know we should pray. In fact, Jesus, in His Word even taught us "how" to pray. But what really happens "when" we pray? This is a faith builder and will encourage your desire to pray even more!

    Oftentimes we don’t see God operating, but yet He is there; behind us, in front of us and on our left hand and right. God’s unseen hand guides and controls, tears down and builds up.
