Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall begins this podcast by acknowledging that our nation may be becoming weak, misdirected and in a state of decline as a result of failing to rely on prayer. He explains how very short, pointed prayers can impress God, and that the prayers of Jesus in the Bible are simple straight to the point, and show unselfishness and concern for others. Dr. Hall uses his experience of having a son critically injured in an automobile wreck as a teaching tool for when and how to pray. Dr. Hall discusses the noetic effect of prayer. He points out that God is not a cosmic bellhop waiting to do the bidding of his creatures, that he reserves the power to answer or not answer prayer. Dr. Hall stresses we should come to God with an attitude of humbly submitting to his will. Can be heard on all podcast search engines and seen on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/cDSjwRcSvMg
