Public Praying

 

Hi Al,

 

The reason I suggested you present a lesson on what specifically is expected when God is asked to intervene when a missionary cannot make ends meet is I cannot. I expect nothing. While I suspect I am not alone I wonder what others expect and why.  I've asked and have never received an explanation. My observations and experiences lead me to believe praying for the physical goes for naught.

 

Unless James was talking only about prayers for wisdom or the faith that he mentions references only a strong conviction that Jesus is the son of God praying without expecting is a major negative.

 

I have long been convinced that over the centuries the church has become careless with its public prayers the primary purpose being to fill the time allocated for public praying.

 

Anyway that's the reasoning behind the suggestion.
