     | 6,678 views

    Prayer is something we are all familiar with, but I wonder if we are familiar enough with prayer? Is it possible that we have become too familiar with prayer? I believe there are instances in our lives where both are true.

    The Proper Attitude in Prayer Matthew 6: 5-8 We have come to the portion of the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus begins to address prayer. The act of praying is literally imploring God to move on our behalf. It is described as words of worship or entreaty that are offered to the Lord. Prayer is ...read more

    Why do Christians suffer? For us to be a tried & tested people; to help us be sympathetic to others; to show the lost how Jesus makes a difference. God lets us suffer, then receive comfort, so that we can give His comfort to others.

    In our cynical world today, it's hard to trust anyone. All the institutions have been shown to be engaged in fraud, lying, and deception. But we can trust the Word of God and the God who gave us that Word.
