Returning to God in Prayer (4 of 5)
Soul on Fire: God's Plan for Revival

Daniel 9:1-23
I heard about a lady who was in a senior adult Bible study class for women, and she invited all the ladies over to her class for a dinner on Sunday night. Well, it was a lot to cook dinner for all those ladies, and she had worked all Sunday afternoon and all the preparations and all the cooking. And they got there, and they were sitting down to eat, and she asked her little six-year granddaughter, who was there, and she said, "Emily, would you pray for us as we get ready to eat?

If you'll study revivals that have taken place over the centuries, you'll find one common denominator.

Sadly, prayer is one of the things that most Christians don't do very well in. It's one of those Christian disciplines and Christian practices that many of us are lacking. I've told you before, and this message is really speaking to my heart, I've told you before it's much easier for me to read the Bible for a ...
