When you pray - what does it sound like? What do you say?Most of us are well acquainted with "petitionary" prayer. It's the kind of prayer where we are asking God to help us. To give us this or that. To protect us in some way. And there's precedent to pray this way: Jesus teaches us to pray: "Give us."But has praying this way deformed our understanding of who God is? Have we questioned the power of prayer when our requests have gone (seemingly) unanswered? How do we pray this way rightly?List...

If God desires our good...and if God is all powerful...then why do I experience suffering?This is one of the biggest charges against the Christian God and one of the biggest challenges for believers in Him.

Through this meditation he...

What does this mean? What benefits does such a relationship give us? How can we have the audacity to call Him this...
