Prayer

I am going to begin a new series later this month called Daring to draw near.  This is a series based on Dr. John White's book of the same name.  We will be looking a prayers of Biblical men and women such as Abraham, Jacob, Hannah, David, Daniel and more.

What is prayer?  Everyone can answer that, right?  Prayer is taking council with God on matters that are important to Him.  Therefore it is important to know what is the will of God.  In the Lord's prayer we are told to pray, Thy will be done on earth as it is heaven.  We need to know what the will of God is.  There will be prayers such as Hannah's where we are like a child crawling up on her daddy's lap and pouring out our painful heart to him.  Other times it will be a session of intercession for others.
