Some pray about great problems. Some people pray over lottery tickets. I suppose some only pray at night because they feel the rates are cheaper. Some pray and then worry. We should pray to get to know Jesus more fully.
Prayer is powerful.
The only way it works is if we believe in it and take advantage of it. The story is told of a small town in which there were no liquor stores. Eventually, tho, a night club was built right on Main Street. Members of one of the churches in the area were so disturbed that they conducted several all night prayer meetings, and asked the Lord to burn down that den of iniquity. Lightening struck the tavern a short time later and it was completely destroyed by fire.
