Has your view of prayer changed?

Alcott · Aug 31, 2007

If you have been a Christian for at least a decade and prayer is-- or at least has been-- a significant part of your life as a believer, is it the same as it was 10 years ago? In what ways? as the poll will accept multiple options.

I have learned over the past few years that God actually wants us to ask for what we want. Even while knowing he was going to give Bartemaeus his sight, he still made him ask for it.

I have learned God will give us what we ask if it is according to his will, so we don't have to tell God that qualifier. We ask, God answers--sometimes yes, sometimes no, sometimes not now.

I used to be afraid to pray very specifically about things, but not anymore.

Has your view of prayer changed?

In what ways has your approach to prayer changed in the last decade?

I emphasize [i]praise[/i] more than [i]petition[/i] now

I still pray for 'healings' of people and situations, but expect it less

I am more likely to volunteer to lead a group in prayer

I volunteer less to lead a group in prayer

I notice more how, when someone prays, they just say what's expected

I spend more time in personal prayer

I spend less time n personal prayer

Failing to see my life's problems solved thereby, I hardly pray at all now

I have a better prayer life, because I have learned more what to say and to expect

There is no observable difference in my prayers from 10 years ago
