Practicing Presence: Practicing Prayer

When we think and read about the sovereignty of God in the pages of Scripture, questions come into play between what God has planned and how we pray. For example, “why would I pray if God has already planned what will happen?” For many of us we may see the tension between the sovereignty of God and prayer, and yet the faithful praying saints in the Scriptures never seemed to struggle with this tension. What we see in Scripture is how God intimately knits His sovereignty and prayer together, especially in times of serious need.
