    Why Prayer Matters

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Sep 17, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,219 views

    Prayer matters because it helps us to rely on God’s mercy. Prayer matters because it helps us to confess sin and ask for mercy. Prayer matters because it helps us to see God for who He is. God. And prayer matters because we honor God when we pray.

    Introduction: Let me start it with a humor, Why did the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit start a band? Because they had perfect harmony! Why did the Trinity go to the baseball game? Because they heard there would be a lot of "Son" shine! Let us Pray: Is God the Father the only “one ...read more
