Mark 11
Now as you are turning to Mark chapter 11, let me ask you a question. Suppose you were interviewing for a sales job at a high-end clothes store: would it help or hinder your chances in getting the job if you walked into the interview wearing a t-shirt, shorts and flip-flops? Help or Hinder?
Suppose you were going on a first date with somebody you really liked. You really wanted to make a great first impression with this person so that a second date and a third date would come.

That's also true in our prayer life. We can either help our prayers to accomplish a lot or we can hinder our prayers to accomplish a little. When I pray, I want my prayers to accomplish much. Those that I love and pray for need for my prayers to accomplish much, not a little! Those that you love and pray for need for your prayers to accomplish much, not a little.
When we pray for others, we want God to hear us and respond and for those whom we pray for to see the mighty hand of God! And yet, I'm afraid we often hinder ...
