J. Evan Kreider asked us to consider the many examples of faithful people making fervent prayers to our majestic Creator for their specific requests. In our communal prayers, if God already knows what's on our hearts, isn't it enough to share our joys and concerns and then conclude with the Lord's Prayer? The words we choose in prayer can help us better understand how to keep asking, searching, and knocking at the door. When a disciple asked Jesus, "teach us to pray" in Luke 11, the only promise Jesus made was that the Holy Spirit will be given to those who ask. [KH]
