      Let’s Talk PRAYER

      Jun 24, 2022

      We pray for a variety of reasons: it is a form of serving God (Luke 2:36-38) and obeying Him (Phil 4:6-7). We pray to demonstrate our faith in God, but most importantly, because Jesus did it. Prayers not prayed will be prayers unanswered. If the Syri

By my own experience and from conversing with my fellow Christians over the last ten years, many of us have some serious doubts as to the effectiveness of our prayers. Couple these doubts with the pervasive guilt that tends to rule our attitudes and you have a recipe for a crippled church.
