Does God Have an Unlisted Number? - Part Two - D Paul Graunke - August 1975

D Paul Graunke

Why does prayer fail so often for so many? Last month we saw that communication with God is often cluttered with rituals, repetitions and archaic or arcane language. But avoiding these common pitfalls is only part of the answer to unanswered prayer. When it comes to prayer, most people have a give-and-take relationship with God. He gives - and they take. In this age of grace, there is a tendency to maximize what God will do for us (which is very considerable) and minimize what we "need" to do for God. People approach their relationship to God with a minimum-daily-requirement mentality. They think in terms of how little they have to do to "please" God and get saved rather than how much. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
