What a pity if prayer is a means to achieve something, if it is just a “magic” way of using one’s spiritual power. I am convinced that,  as we embrace the Lord in a loving relationship- totally based on HIS grace and HIS work for us on the cross- prayer is the most beautiful act of being one with HIM! Having taken part in the Lausanne Congress in Capetown, I could see how the Lord answered many of my prayers all around the world and I fell even more in love with HIM. Northkorea, India, Madagaskar, Tanzania.. etc. everywhere HE is moving mightily! What was your exprience?
