    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. In the Army, if soldiers feel they’ve been treated unfairly, they have several options: They can use their chain-of-command, see the Chaplain, contact Equal Opportunity, call the Inspector General’s office, or even write their Senator.

    Wir haben so lange gebetet, so hart, ohne Ergebnisse. Es gibt große Gewissheit, dass er jedes Gebet hört. Je länger ein Gebet verzögert wird, desto vollkommener wird es endlich herauskommen. Je tiefer die Stille, desto lauter die Antwort

    A Solid Starting Point For Effective Prayer Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 9, 2025
     | 633 views

    The beginning of the Lord's Prayer is the words "Our Father in heaven." This starts our prayer with the fact that we are asking for help. How does this phrase encourage us in that direction?

    - A couple opening points for the sermon series as a whole. - First, the Lord’s Prayer is a good antidote to our limited prayer life. - Many of us have prayer lives that are largely limited to asking for stuff, whether it’s for ourselves or for others. Now, that's a good thing to do, but ...read more
