Mission Impossible
The reason we need to pray is because God has given us an impossible mission. Can you be the wife or husband God wants you to be on your own? Can you parent without God's help? Can the church accomplish its purposes by just trying really hard? No - we have an impossible mission; so we must look at the possibilities of prayer.
