[Faith-talk] Some thoughts on prayer

[Linda Mentink]

Hi Steph,

It's late here, and I may write more on the subject another day.

I suggest that you do a study on prayer. If you have a Concordance, 
look up the word, and read all the verses with that word in it. You 
will see how important prayer really is. Even Jesus got Himself away 
alone to pray.

I know I don't pray as much as I should, but I try to never pray as a 
last resort! Smile.

Blessings,

Linda
