What Should We Be Praying For, Anyway?

Sep 03, 2025


 

Do you ever worry that you're treating God like a vending machine?

Or wonder whether it's wrong that many of your prayers consist of asking for help?

Lord, I need this, Lord, help me with that... 

Well, that type of prayer is called petitionary prayer, and I've got good news for you.

Not only is it the most common form of prayer - it's something God wants us to do!

In fact, it's something God actually MADE us to do!

But there's a nuance to all of this that we need to understand.
