I am attending the Great Lakes District conference this week. The theme of the conference this year is “The Prayers of Jesus.” I have been attending breakout sessions focused on the prayer ministry of the local church. The break out sessions have been led by a former missionary to India who has a great heart for prayer and a retired seminary president. The former missionary is a true inspiration in seeking God through prayer. The seminary president has had some great teaching about prayer and good questions about prayer in the church today.
In the breakout session we discussed an interesting observation of prayer in the church today. Well, it was interesting to me at least. We were discussing the idea of American consumerism invading our prayer life. So what do you think? Has the idea of having things our way right away influenced how you pray and what you pray for?
Another topic that surfaced during our discussion is faith. What does it mean to pray with faith?
The discussion we had was interesting and I am interested in your feedback on these issues. What do you think?
