It helps some people relax‚ centre‚ and really think through their desires and troubles. This also makes me think about how James said that faith without action is dead. Prayer may not always be answered the way you expect it to be answered. For example you ask God to make you more patient. God may not make you more

This is one of the most important cases in the history of the supreme court ’s. Since the removal of school prayer morals and values of youngsters have continuously deteriorated
