In times of war, natural disaster and life's simple disappointments, many people turn to prayer for answers.
Some people question the value of prayer when they are disappointed in the outcome.
Others feel assured by prayer, but they're uncertain how it works. Barndt has been involved in fund-raising efforts for Central America, which has been wracked by civil war. Pastors for Peace sent a stocked bookmobile to Cuba in June. When we start on a project to buy a bookmobile and gather supplies, doors open serendipitously. We don't know how prayer gets answered, but prayers make a difference in how we respond, making it possible to accept opportunities and challenges.
