* Why should we bother to pray if God already knows what we are going to ask for? Prayer involves so much more than making personal requests. It connects us with God and works to bring our wills into conformity with His.
How then should we pray?...First, James tells us to pray in community, not just by ourselves and for ourselves. When we pray together, life is shared and community is born. We also confess our sins, not just to God, but to each other. Thru this vulnerable transparency, God knits souls together in authentic community, and we discover the true benefit of prayer.....May God bring all men and women to Himself! " In Jesus' Name...AMEN!.....(Let it be so!)...........Pray on, Pray on!
