The Power of Prayer.
The purpose of prayer is to converse with God, but prayer is not merely talking to God. It is responding to the One who has initiated towards us. Prayer is not a conversation we start but a relationship we are drawn to. Dr. Tom Schwanda helps us experience the power of prayer in our daily lives.
