Does prayer really change our circumstances? 

In this episode of Christian Life Issues for Today, Dr Mack continues with Part 3 of his study on Answers to Prayer. In it we learn the role of prayer in the Christian life, that it is not fiction, but going to war. Some important questions are asked and answered, such as: Can we control God with prayer?

Why did Jesus specify that we have to pray daily for our needs?

Why does the Lord give us daily bread and not bread for a lifetime?

In this episode of Christian Life Issues for Today, Dr. Wayne Mack continues to reveal all the spiritual treasure that can be found in the Lord’s prayer by focusing on the phrase “give us this day”. We all have a tendency to live in a way that we think we don’t need the Lord, we are filled with pride and we so easily forget that all the blessings in our lives comes from the Lord. Deuteronomy 8, the life of Hudson Taylor, and the danger of the Prosperity Gospel are but some of the things that are discussed in great detail in this biblically based episode!
