Asking God…
It is every Christian’s privilege to bring their needs — and the needs of others — before God in prayer. Jesus teaches clearly that God really is listening and that he really does answer prayer. This runs against almost everything that our society tells us — prayer is not something the world can cope with or understand. But the promise of God and the experience of Christians down the ages is that prayer really does change things.

Learning to pray is a giant step into a very different world.
