PRAYER APPLICATION
Spend some time thinking about what prayer is to you and in your life:
** How do you define prayer? Why do you define it that way?
** How does the way you define prayer affect how you pray?
** In light of the quotes above, do you need to re-think how you look at prayer? Do you need to re-think how you pray?
Put your thoughts into practice ... and pray!
