"Why pray?"  Have you ever asked yourself that question?  Everyone has had a moment or two where they spent weeks and weeks praying intently about something very important only to have the pray go unanswered.  The typical response to an unanswered prayer usually goes something like this: "I must have sinned so God wasn't going to answered my prayer." Or, "I must be praying incorrectly, and God isn't going to answer my prayer until I figure it out."  Prayer can be so confusing!  So here's the struggleWe know we should pray and even pray more, but how?
