Let's Pray

No job, let's pray....poor health, let's pray...broken home...let's pray, confused, let's pray...no money, let's pray...broken world, let's pray.  Are you getting the point?

Will you pray for me,  we need to pray, let's just pray...how many times have you heard this? 

But let's think about something...

Daniel prayed and the mouths of the lions were shut.  (Daniel 6)

Stephen prayed and was stoned to death.  (Acts 7 - 8)

Two very different prayers - two very different outcomes.  Does prayer change "things" or does prayer change "me" and how I see those "things?"

When in doubt remember this..."Jesus prayed and he prayed again." (Mark 8:22-25)

Make a commitment to pray, then pray again and again and again and a...g...a...i...n...

See Ya' Tonight...
