[Faith-talk] Some thoughts on prayer

[sheila]

prayer is so important because we know the saviour prayed to his father. 
He needed the communication We need that also. Prayer is more than 
presenting our own wants and needs, it also involves listening for that 
still small voice. Sometimes god's severignt is hard to understand and 
accept but he is God and I'm not when I started losing my hearing I was 
angry and disapointed in god for letting it happen to me but all through 
that time I still knew that he was still providing for me and that he 
didn't prove his love for me by what my circumstances are but that while 
i was a sinner christ died for me and it really helped me to take a step 
back and rmemeber why he came in the first place. christ understands our 
pain much more than we can even know and it can bring peace.
