Charles Finney was born in 1792.  Though he wasn’t raised in a Christian home, he became converted in his early 20’s.  Before he was converted, Finney observed that the Christians around him did not get their prayers answered.  This bothered him.  He made it a life study to understand how prayer worked.  Eventually he began preaching the gospel with amazing results.  Whole towns were converted.  He gave credit for his results to his time spent in prayer and the work of the Holy Spirit.
We began our study of prayer this week looking at the Lord’s prayer.  Jesus gave us a model to help guide us.  If we are to be successful in our Christian walk we must learn to pray more effectively.  Join us.  See you Sunday.
