One of the things our discussion group talked about last Thursday was the questions we all have about prayer.

As children, some of the questions we might have had included: Where is God and how can God hear all the prayers all at once? How will I know if God answers my prayer? Does everyone pray?

As youth, our questions about prayer became: Why bother? Why pray when it doesn't seem to change anything? Why are some prayers answered and some aren't?

As adults, our questions don't go away, and often include the questions we had growing up. In addition, our questions also become: What if I'm praying for the wrong things? How is prayer more than just "saying" prayers? Am I just trying to persuade God to change his mind or is prayer more than that? How do I pray without "ceasing"?

So what question would you add to the list?

Our group meets again tonight ... join us in the conversation.
