John Carver Show - Pray then What? This was VERY tough for me to share.

I shared "Pray then What" with our church at Faith Outreach Chapel in Baltimore Maryland.  I wouldn't teach about prayer for YEARS because our daughter, Juliana, has been fighting cancer since 2007 and NONE of my prayers, and the prayers of thousands of people around the world have worked to cure her...so standing behind a pulpit and sharing that prayer works would mean I would have to be a hypocrite for which I am not.

Some of what I shared includes:

Wisdom from people much smarter than me:

“Pray like it all depends on God, but work like it all depends on you.”  Dave Ramsey

“The Christian should work as if all depended upon him, and pray as if it all depended upon God.”  Charles Haddon Spurgeon

“Work as if everything depended upon work and pray as if everything depended upon prayer.” William Booth

Toward the end of this sermon I shared a story.  I broke down in the middle of it because I felt like the little boy who is crying out for God to heal Juliana (unlock the door) and she still suffers with cancer.
