The key to effective prayer

Effective prayer is more than thinking good thoughts, or begging a far off God to intervene, it is a recognition of the transforming power of God’s law in our lives. Jesus provided strong examples of what prayer can do, and expected his followers for centuries to come to do the same. He defied material laws by obeying spiritual laws–laws that define God as Love and God’s loving government of us. We can follow Jesus’ example confidently by striving to understand these laws and put them into practice.
