The Scriptures tell us that the prayers of believers are powerful and effective (James 5:16). We are implored to pray continually and give thanks to God in all circumstances (1 Thess. 5:17-18).  Even our broader society considers prayer important. According to Pew Research Center some 55% of all Americans pray to a deity daily and over 70% at least once a week. However, there is much confusion in our society and in the church about prayer:
What is it? Who can pray? When and how should we pray? What can we pray for? How does God answer prayers? We will explore these questions and more in this series.
