We tend to find what we look for in other people.
Don't pray to escape trouble. Don't pray to be comfortable in your emotions. Pray to do the will of God in every situation. Nothing else is worth praying for.
The surest mark of a Christian is not faith, or even love, but joy.
Prayer may not change things for you, but it for sure changes you for things.
Is your Christianity ancient history--or current events?
Everybody has a problem, is a problem, or lives with a problem.
