Prayer

Prayer is just talking to God. It is also listening to God and getting God's perspectives on a matter.

Prayer does no evil. A prayer with unworthy motives will simply be ignored by God.

I think sometimes we are benefited when some of our prayers are unanswered-just like our children are when we do not give them everything that they request. Everything we want is not necessarily good for us.

A good friend taught me that it is hard to be mad at someone that you are praying for.

A person at prayer is not a threatening sight; however, the Scripture says that the "effectual prayers of a righteous person, availeth much."

If we move God through our prayers, that is powerful.

God sees our heart when we pray. We are transparent to God, and our motives are known.

Seeing a person at prayer is one of the most intimate and beautiful sights in the world.

And prayer when good hearts are united in unity and purpose is a most wondrous thing. It is as gentle as a flower and as powerful as a storm.

HarleyDad is a novice in the prayer area. He is not a prayer "warrior"-but he does believe strongly that prayer can "move the hands of God."

He believes that the great things in the church and in our society that are truely good are born in prayer and delivered in faith before we see them standing like a young child and then a full grown man or woman.

Prayer is the implantation of the mustard seed that grows into the mighty tree.
