Pastoral Prayer and a Sunday Morning Worship Service

Prayer is a way of showing people how to come before god in prayer that we can. It's also trying to show people these are the sort of things we should have on our hearts if we're the people of god. When i hear pastor sam albray pray over me, this awareness comes over my being. God is involved. I'm not god forsaken. The very tone and posture that we adopt in prayer, i would hope, reflects that kind of gospel culture. So wedon't we don't pray about people in desperate need in a way that sounds flippant and cavalier? We want peopleo to care about things in a certain way.
