What's the good of prayer?

WE NEED IT BECAUSE (Luke 11:1):
- Human wits have an end (Ps 107:13; 29, 27-28)
- Human wills have an end (Romans 8:26)
- Human wisdom has an end (James 1:5)
      Prayer alters ME

WE MUST DO IT (Luke 18:1):
- If we would know God (Matt 6:8)
- If we would help others (John 14:12-13)
- If we would do God's will (I John 5:14-16)
     Prayer alters OTHERS

WE CAN DO IT (James 5:16):
- By asking (John 15:17)
- By seeking (John 15:7)
- By knocking (Matt 7:7)
     Prayer alters CIRCUMSTANCES through me

BE HOLY.
BE A MAN.
