I think too often we evangelical Christians forget that prayer is not magic. If we just pray right, God will answer! Prayer is the expression of our relationship with God. Instead of prayer looking like our relationship with our best friend or our family, our prayer looks like our relationship with Santa Claus. <br> Charlie12/10/2005 6:19:00 AM http://ww.theoblogian.org/Post.aspx?s=rc&idpPost=53#Comment_125<P>what is the real question? obviously the one who gloats against healing has no need to guess what God's will is. He already knows. So even he may not have a reason to pray. here is another question, Christ never ended his prayers with "in my holy, mighty, abracadabra, name amen." so why is it that many of us think that if&nbsp;i end&nbsp;my prayers with "in Jesus name amen," God is compelled and cannot but answer. or that if&nbsp;i inadvertently leave it out, there will be someone to remind me, "you're prayer is not going to be answered because you left out the magic word?" </P>mingman12/9/2005 2:50:00 AM
