PRAYER:THE CHALLENGE. “And being in anguish,He prayed more earnestly”(Luke 22:44) ‘There are enriching moments in prayer when you experience glorious intimacy with God and are filled with inexpressible joy.But true prayer often has a seriousness that touches on the deeper issues of life. Many Christians never progress beyond prayers that simply lay their requests before God.And when they do not get the answer they want,they are disappointed. When you pray that God will help you to grow spiritually,or show you the right way to live,or use you in His service,you will experience the full impact of the challenge of prayer. Such prayers are essential between you and God,but you will soon discover that they touch other people as well.When you become aware of God’s presence,you bring before Him those who are in need:a child who has gone astray;a hungry,lonely person;or someone who is suffering and heartbroken. As God lay these people on your heart,you begin to understand the responsibility of prayer.Sharing in this privilege strengthens you to live in love toward God and your fellow men.’
