Prayer is a conversation with God.
It’s not a request hotline where you ask for your enemies to be smite, smote and ground down into smithereens.
This might seem obvious to some people, but growing up in a Pentecostal church, the phrase ‘die by fire’ was very common during prayers.
Praying was described as warfare and the expectation was that it was meant to be loud, unbridled, and tumultuous.
No wonder a church I went to years ago rung a handbell every few minutes as we prayed, whipping the congregation into a frenzy.
