@tanjaostman So interesting that you shared this! I was just thinking of this brother yesterday! He has such a sense of humor in spite of all the suffering and grief he's experienced. In addition to the loss of his earthly father and his own persecution, he almost lost his life in a motorcycle accident. But, God is a God of miracles! Have you heard his testimony of being visited by a little angel to remind him he DOES have a father?

@Toddkapper @sinbach It could be that sometimes, but I think other times it may simply be a learned habit. We imitate others who pray in that way. We practice what we hear and even take it into out own prayer closet? I'm glad @sinbach shared this for some laughs. I agree with Mary and Todd that it is awkward. But, on the flip side, I know people who pray this way and are very dedicated servants of the Lord. I'm sure they're praying in private and their lives are bearing fruit. And, their prayers are heard and being answered. I'm glad God hears and answers all kinds of prayers.

@Jo_PrayerN_actionCenter I have been thinking of North Korea.

@VeritasDomain Yes, it is. I wish we could hear more about how God is moving in the region and how people are being rescued, but I know that people involved in these areas need to keep their work very confidential. And, they're more busy working and getting things accomplished than they are sitting around talking about it. It's good to be reminded about these issues though, so we can pray for our brothers and sisters.

@Chidiotamiri I once was in a service where the preacher spoke in almost a monotone. There was nothing in his manner of speaking that held attention. However, I was captivated by the message, because the Holy Spirit was speaking through him powerfully. It left a big impression upon me. There is nothing wrong with a being a charismatic preacher, in fact it can be a gift. But, a person does not need it before being used by the Lord. God spoke through a donkey once. Yes, may we all speak with purpose! Whether as a preacher to a group or to one person in our realm of influence.

@Berrybunchfamily Have a great sleep. We are praying for complete healing.

@tanjaostman Thank you for sharing this.
