Prayer Part 1

This week's message seems to touch on prayer. Today's sermon was one of the these heard so far about the misunderstandings about prayer

Myth #1 - The more you pray, the more powerful you would have
Response - The Bible mentions nothing about how much we should pray. However, Paul in Philippians did mention that we are to pray to God always, giving thanks to God in all circumstances. So how much should we pray? The answer lies in are we praying in the will of God?

Myth #2 - Praying in a crowd is more powerful
Response - Jesus said in Matthew 18 that for where two or three gather in His name, there He will be them. So, the key point here is unity in the mind. It is not the number of people praying that matters the most. What matters the most is are we are all praying in unity?

I forgot myth #3. If I manage to recall, I will update here. In all, prayer is simply to talk to God what you feel and think. And the same time, it is being still, enjoying the fellowship with God.
