Coming up on marriage today with Jimmy and Karen

When God changed my heart and I began to talk to Karen it heals something in me

that was broken and I like talking as much as she does.

Karen doesn't have to make me talk.

I love, she's my very best friend.

I love talking to Karen.

I love talking to God.

It hit, when I began to pray in a relational manner,

not a religious manner.

And I learned how to pray.

It healed everything in. Oh, There are three main reasons for prayer that we need to understand. The first reason for prayer is acknowledging God and allowing Him into our lives both generally and

specifically.

Let me say this.

You do realize there are people that don't want God's help.

They're atheists in this world. They don't believe in God and

they're not inviting God in any way into their lives. Well, but let's just say

we're talking about Christians here, a person who gave them their life to

Christ. You do understand now that there are

Christians who believe they can handle life without God. That's what prayerlessness

is a boast against God. A day without prayer is a boast against God. And what we're saying is, I can do this without you. I can do my relationships without you. I can do my finances without you. I can do my job without you, I can live life successfully without you.

God is not going to force his way into any person's life because the relationship has no value

if it's forced.
