Why prayer matters
Archbishop Michael Ramsey used to describe prayer as being in the presence of God with what is on our hearts. To pray personally about money, and specifically the invitation to generosity, is to invite the Holy Spirit to search and challenge our hearts into letting Jesus be Lord of a very personal, sensitive and powerful area of our lives. To pray intentionally for the mission and ministry needs of our church is to take very seriously the promise that God provides and to resist a great divorce between spirituality and our material lives.
