Larry Crabb, in his book “The PAPA PRAYER,” ask nine question to challenge us about our concept of prayer.

1. Ever ask for something from God that you didn’t receive?

2. Ever pray for guidance, especially in a difficult relationship, that never came? 

3. Ever really need to hear God’s voice and then try to believe you did, even though you weren’t sure?

4. Do you sometimes feel that God is turning a deaf ear to your most desperate prayer requests? 

5. Have you ever prayed for comfort yet ended up feeling more empty and alone after you prayed? 

6.Has praying for strength to overcome temptation ever left you feeling just as weak and the temptation just as strong, or even stronger?

The next three final questions reach a little deeper: 

7. Do you know God well enough to enjoy His company, the same way you enjoy being with a family member or close friend? 

8. Do you want to know God better and enjoy Him more than you know and enjoy anyone else? 

9. Do you connect with God in such a way that enables you to hear His voice and to know He’s right there with you?

I leave you with these questions because I want to encourage you to buy the book.
