It almost sounds like a silly question ‒ how do you determine if a prayer is “good” or not? Is it by the number of words (longer prayers are better) or by the particular words we choose (spiritual sounding prayers must be better), or is it the time or day or place that I choose to pray that makes my prayer “good”? Silly, huh!?

Yet how many of us have not asked those questions ourselves, or been asked them by others, or wondered about what it was in particular that made prayer powerful, effective, and meaningful.

We are a people who pray….there is no getting around the fact that in the good times and in the bad…there is something within us that calls us to “talk to God…” But prayer can be a discouraging and confusing venture…. knows what we need before we ask?

Key Passage: Matthew 6:5-15
