Prayer is Relationship
Luke 18: 1-8

“Anyone of us who asks for divine intervention has in our experience a sense of disappointment and sometimes despair, when our prayers feel like basketballs tossed in the air, falling flat coming nowhere near the net of God’s response. What does this mean? What does this parable have to do with me and you? Who have no doubt prayed and prayed and have felt ignored and abandoned? This is what I have to offer. Perhaps, prayer is not an act or a singular request. But rather perhaps prayer is a continual state of being.”
