I have a problem with intercessional prayers. When I sit in church and someone says "and we pray for Africa,,,," I think 'what, all of it?'
I read that you can't expect God to answer a prayer unless you really believe that it could happen. When we pray for the millions suffering in the Sudan do we really think that something will change? Or are we just praying because we want it to change?
In that case it is a wish, not a prayer.
Even though my heart breaks when I see the reports on the TV I don't really believe it will change.
If God did relieve the suffering it would not change us. It would happen all over again, somewhere else, some other time.
It is our hearts which need to change.

you can't just stand here.......
OK, you have Jesus Christ in your life and nothing is ever the same again. Your sins are forgiven - but you are still a sinner. And knowing what you should do doesn't mean you find it easy to do it. Others may do nothing but for you that's not an option. You can't just stand here......
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." Matthew 7:7
Sounds simple enough doesn't it? But you would be amazed at how tricky it is being a Christian - or perhaps you wouldn't. Perhaps you don't find it a walk in the park either.
