The early church demonstrates that there are no new problems when it comes to the issues people have in their relationship with God. Prayer isn't treating God like Santa Claus. Prayer isn't talking to God for its own sake. Prayer is the purposeful pursuit of fellowship with God in order to align our hearts and desires with His. He is going to do what He's going to do. Whether or not we share in the blessing of seeing that promise fulfilled is a choice we make through prayer.

1. The purpose of prayer is aligning your heart with God's.

2. If you need a miracle, you'll get one.

3. God always acts according to His Word.
