    If you suffer severe limitations, what do you wish for? What is your prayer, if you are bound by something that keeps you from doing what you really want to do?

    Praying Without A Sense Of Failure

    Contributed by Nigel Heath on Sep 6, 2009
     | 4,319 views

    When it comes to prayer most of us feel a sense of failure and some of us give up. This need not be. There is no one-size-fits-all method. You can be encouraged and enable in your prayer life.
