Jason Chatraw - Staff writer P rayer is not just a ritual. We should pray because we want to see God at work, changing us, people around us, and situations surrounding us.
Prayer is work.
Dr. Stanley expounds on how this character understood a key concept of prayer. If you begin to pray fervently about a situation, a circumstance, or person, there are times when as you begin to pray, the time doesn't slip by, it rushes by. And you may get up off your face before God absolutely worn out, exhausted. . . . Praying is work. Often we become frustrated when it seems like God isn't doing anything.
