Lessons on Prayer by Witness LeeThe effectiveness of our prayer depends upon our understanding of the meaning of prayer itself. Many people think that it means coming before God to make supplication. Because we are in want and need material supply, or we are sick and need healing, or have other problems and need some solution, we go before God and ask Him tosupply our needs, heal our sicknesses, and solve our problems. Such a definition is not wrong, but it is too superficial and lacks both depth and accuracy.
In
Lessons on Prayer Witness Lee first discusses the real meaning of prayer: Prayer is the mutual contact between man and God; prayer is man breathing God, obtaining God, and being obtained by God; and prayer isman cooperating and co-working with God, allowing God to express Himself and His desire through man, and thus accomplish His purpose. In the subsequent chapters, these principles are developed, expounded, and practically applied. May we all benefit from learning these lessons on prayer.

Our prayers originate in heaven and are all destined for heaven.
Hello Ms. Lily,
You made your site simple yet elegant. I see that you have a strong desire to serve God. Now is a good time! I recommend the one true God, Jehovah. He has an important message for all of us: 1 And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. 2 If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith Jehovah of hosts, then will I send the curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings; yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. (Malachi 2:1-2) (ASV)
