Prayer seems to the bystander to be a pointless exercise, and has been this to me at times. Often after being in our typical crouched down, elbows on knees and head bowed position in prayer, we have nothing to show for it except maybe a sore neck from nodding off every 5 minutes!
As sometimes meaningless and simplistic as it may seem, we do know this is not the case! Prayers from all walks of life will attest to the fact that, without a doubt, it is the thing that has completely transformed countless situations that have been prayed into. Moses, Paul, even Jesus Himself, prayed continuously. As if it all depended on it, a matter of life and death. |
