Sometimes
the Devil Loves It
When You
Pray By Rev. Harrison Goodman

aul tells us to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Luther writes that prayer chases away the devil who cannot abide where God’s name is called upon. Sounds great. So who would have a problem with prayer? The truth is, pretty much everyone who’s ever actually tried it. The very needs that drive you to pray put you face to face with the giant contrast between all the things God promised and what the world actually looks like.
