Hope you had a fab time on the Oregon coast. I remember having a magical time tidepooling there in 2000!

I suppose if I fail to truly believe in the power of prayer, I shouldn't even bother to be a Christian.

This was an encouraging word for me to get more serious in my own prayer life. Aren't we supposed to have the strength to move mountains? With prayer, the first step is faith; to believe that God can do what He says He can do. I remember when I went through Beth Moore's study “Believing God” this was a powerful statement for me.

It's an area in which Christians need to invest thought and ingenuity so that we can offer a service, friendship, a social event, or use wealth-creation strategies instead of this exhausting asking and asking.

I am always amazed when I hear Christians say they don't believe that prayer changes the story of their own or other people's lives.
