Well, howdy, Church of 1122?

It's good to be with you this way.

I am sitting on stage at what would be our 1122 service right now on Sunday.

And God has just led me over these next four or five days to just do some devotions that will be

available to you from God's word each day. And so I haven't even prepared much. I just feel

disciples said to him Lord teach us to pray as John taught his disciples. It's very interesting that Jesus had a certain place that he

liked to pray. Also, it's interesting that the disciples would ask Jesus to teach them to prayer,

to pray. I don't know that prayer is, it's just something that you just know how to do.

Now, I do think that prayer is instinctual, just like a little kid reaches out to their parents when they're in need.

I can tell you, regardless of what people believe about Jesus right now in our world, when people are sick and in need,
