Do you pray out of duty or habit? Is it just another task to check off the spiritual 'to do' list? Or do you pray earnestly, honestly, readily accepting that there will be an answer before the outcome. Are you harnessing the full knowledge of God's omnipotent response or simply moving lips with a platitudious response for watching eyes. Is prayer another 'motion' or a lifeline in the reality of our joys and pains? Are you believing in the power of God, worked out through prayer, or in the sound of your own voice?
