God designed the program of prayer as an 'apprenticeship' for eternal sovereignty with Christ.
Satan does not care how many people read about prayer if only he can keep them from praying.
Surely that which occupies the total time and energies of heaven must be a fitting pattern for earth.
The explanation is that prayer is not primarily God's way of getting things done. It is God's way of giving the church 'on the job training' in overcoming the forces hostile to God.
Any church program, no matter how impressive, if it is not supported by an adequate prayer program, is little more than an ecclesiastical treadmill. It is doing little or no damage to Satan's kingdom.
Someone has described the modern American as a person who drives a bank financed car over a bond financed highway on credit card gas to open a charge account at a department store so he can fill his savings and loan financed home with installment purchased furniture. may this also be a description of many modern professed Christians? And may this not be one reason why modern Christians have so little time to pray? Importunity combined with perfect faith in unconquerable!

How we remember changes how we have lived. Time runs both ways. We make stories of our lives.
