Reason to Pray

Reason to Pray

The best reason to pray is that God is really there.
In praying, our unbelief gradually starts to melt.
God moves smack into the middle of even an ordinary day ...
Prayer is a matter of keeping at it ...
Thunderclaps and lightning flashes are very unlikely.
It is well to start small and quietly.

No powers of darkness me molest.
