Andrew Wommack uncovers the traditions and misconceptions in prayer that often bring more suffering than good In finding out how Jesus taught us to pray, we can bring joy back into our relationship with God.

What they don't understand is that prayer is an opportunity to have communion with God-fellowship with the Father. Of course it includes requests because we need help from our Father eve...
