One of strangest gifts that God gives to some Christians is the ability to speak in a language they don't understand. What sort of gift is that, how does it work and what could it be for?

We sometimes think of ‘gifted’ people as being exceptionally talented, but in the Bible it usually means ordinary people who God enables to serve him in surprising ways. We are all at our most effective for God when we serve in the ways he has gifted us to.

Jesus made some pretty strong claims for the effectiveness of prayer, yet many of us have experienced disappointment when we have earnestly prayed. How do we handle that in a way that helps us continue to pray?
