Prayer is not an obligation, but rather the principle of depending on God everywhere and allow Him to play a part in everything we do.
We hate cancer and there’s nothing to love about it. Yet, as humans we sometimes have wrong perspectives about the bad things in life. Jesus said once…
We are honest and realistic enough to admit that yes, not always our prayers get the answer we expected. Maybe not then, maybe not quite so, maybe not at all…
The authentic, honest prayer is far from selfish. It should in fact be selfless. Because it is the acknowledgment of nothing good in you (see Romans 7:18).
