EXCERPT:
How should we pray and does it even work? The Christian author Pete Greig said, in response to the question of who prays nowadays “Everyone prays. Even non-Christians pray. The difference when Christians do it is they are climbing into the lap of their heavenly Father!” Prayer can be a mystery. Why are some prayers seemingly answered and others not? However, what if we reimagined what many seem to have allowed prayer to become, a wish list of what we think should happen, and instead turn it into a powerful relationship with an ever present loving Heavenly Father.
