 It's October. Welcome to the teens cornerstone connection lesson this month. We begin a new quarter with the theme reality Bible we have our We have Shawnee on the mission story Amy and said on violin and piano Joyce Appealing to the deaf community. We have Seth Misati and Silas with our wonderful teen teachers as our panelists enjoy Hi, my name is Shawnee and I'm gonna be reading the mission story today. So the mission story comes from Cameroon and it's about a young boy named David and The title of our story is breaking bread By 6 o'clock in the morning little David was dressed and ready to leave home for kindergarten Mother handed over his backpack stuffed with textbooks paper pencils and most importantly Breakfast breakfast was a delicious chewy chunk of bread Kindergarten started at 7 o'clock after a few sessions It was time for breakfast David eagerly pulled out the bread from his backpack Was hungry as he prepared to eat a little boy sitting beside him spoke up. Did you share with me? He asked David saw the boy didn't have any bread. His mother hadn't packed breakfast for him So David to a piece of the bread. Here you are. He said as the boy accepted the bread another boy came over Could you share with me? He asked David saw that this boy also didn't have bread. His mother didn't pack for him breakfast David told for another piece of bread. Here you are. He said Then a third boy came over David already guessed why he wanted what he wanted. He saw that the boy didn't have any breakfast and must be hungry Sure enough the boy had the question He shared with me he asked David didn't have much bread left. He wondered what to do But then he remembered the bible story in the story god's prophet Elijah was hungry And he went to a poor mother for help. He asked the mother. Could you share with me? However, there was a famine in the land and the mother only had enough flour and oil to bake one last loaf of bread She had planned to eat the bread with her son, but she shared it with Elijah God rewarded her with a miracle Provided her an unending supply of flour and oil and the mother was able to bake bread until the famine ended She and her son never went hungry David had had the bible story in Sabbath school Sabbath school teacher had told the children you need to share with those who are hungry David broke the last piece of bread in half The three boys nibbled on the delicious chewy bread. It was a good breakfast David felt good that he had been able to help the other boys His own breakfast wasn't big, but he didn't get hungry before kindergarten ended and went home for lunch The next day the same thing happened again when David pulled out his bread for breakfast. The other boys asked him to share David shared again, and he felt good after that children asked David to share his breakfast every day Many things changed when David finished kindergarten and started First grade school started at 11 o'clock. So he ate breakfast at home But now he ate lunch at school. Mother had no longer parked bread for him Instead she gave him lunch money to buy bread to eat But one thing didn't change. Children kept asking David to share his food and he kept sharing Today David is 13 years old and he shared his food for eight years His kindness was surprised by some classmates and they asked Why are you sharing? David likes to tell them the story of how Jesus shared food with a crowd of 5 000 Or how Jesus shared everything with his disciples I want to share like Jesus David says So David's generosity had a good influence on his classmates when they saw him share food They also started sharing their food with those who had none David said he's happy that he can share Sometimes I feel hungry because I give away so much food he says But I'm happy because I can follow Jesus's example Of sharing. I believe that I'm sharing the light of Jesus with my friends Part of this quarter 13th Sabbath offering will help open a seventh day Adventist school in David's home country of Cameroon Where children will be able to learn about the joy of sharing God's blessings with others Thank you for a generous offering Hello everybody. Welcome Karibu Sana to our cornerstone lesson this week We have a wonderful lesson for you But before we start I'd just like my fellow panelists to introduce themselves starting from my extreme right Hello and hope Sabbath years My name is Seth Ruben Mokara and Honoured to be here It's so good morning afternoon evening to our viewers My name is miss Sati Nyambane Love for us to jump into this interesting lesson Fantastic. Good morning. Good evening. Good afternoon I'm Silas and I'm happy to be here Wonderful and I'm happy to be here too Our lesson this week is entitled prayer power, but before we start let's say a prayer Dear father in heaven, oh lord god, we come before you father this time We'd like to thank you so much for another opportunity father together together To learn from your feet now father as we begin I ask that you may be with us keep us and help us to understand that that we learn in just in my pray amen amen Ladies and gentlemen, we have a wonderful lesson for you today Entitled prayer power prayer power and it's all about why we should pray how we should pray and Should we pray in order for us to get results, right? And we'll be diving into that Straight away And I just wanted to introduce Silas over here with the what do you think section now just before we go into the story just to Give us some prelude On on what we are going to discuss Silas okay, so I'll ask you one question before we go into the story and This is a question to everyone who is here Mm-hmm. Have you ever been mocked for not having a certain thing and Will start with me sir Yeah, so personally like let's see what what mockery okay the mockery I've faced in my life was like in high school I was being mocked. I was listening. I was oh You have a girlfriend. I was like no, I've never had a girlfriend. They're like, bro. Are you gay? Are you sure you're not gay? No, I was like, no, I'm straight man. No, don't you have a girlfriend? I'm saying it's choice. You know, there's no pressure This life no pressure No, that's that's true. Uh, this life no pressure Silas okay, so the second question is God answers your prayers every single time Although sometimes not in the way you expected. Do you think this is true? Okay, so for me, I think God knows what we need. God knows what you want And he knows what is best for us. So whenever We ask for something he answers in the right way Maybe it's not what we really want but That is what we are meant to have Yeah So let's get into the story and the story is about Hanna and This man from Ramathim, he had two wives one was called Hanna and the other was called Penina So one of them had no children and the other had Children so because of this Penina used to mock Hanna every day because she didn't have children and Penina did so that is one thing she had and Hanna didn't have so that's what she always used used to mock her with And in this story we see that Hanna decided to go to the temple and pray and ask God to Give her a child and she prayed Every single day and one day Early the priest of the temple while was in the temple he asked her Are you Are you drunk? What's the problem with you and he had not Known her story, but From how she was praying and seeking God honestly He thought she was drunk, but she was actually not drunk, but she was praying and asking God to grant her petition Yeah Yeah, thank you Silas I think there you've just taken us through very well through the story and also through the what do you think section? And here it's painting of the picture of her of a heartbroken woman really who You know has been mocked You know she said that perhaps in the story if you read it a little bit more It says that you know she had the love of her husband But then there was one thing that she didn't have and that was a child You know and at the result, you know her core wife Mocked her every single day without without relenting Right and this made her life a misery. She was absolutely miserable And so she goes on and and and she she while at the temple During the yearly feast she she comes up and And and prays to the god prays to god, you know Yearning yearning for For for a child so much so that even when ellie the priest sees her who we learned about last week and his bad boys You know, he's convinced he's convinced that this woman over here is drunk This woman over here is certainly not in her right mind. Just look at her, you know and Uh, I just know so that's where we are in the story and I just wanted to invite Seth with the key text after that prayer. What happens after that prayer? What happens? Okay, so Our key text comes from the book of Second Samuel chopped first. Oh, it's a first Samuel chapter One was 20 and it says and someone spoke unto all The house of israel saying If you if ye do return unto the lord with all your heart And I think you're reading. I think that's second Samuel Yeah, first first Samuel chapter one verse 20 verse 20 verse 20 Let me jump in because I find that this verse is Particularly fascinating to me. So in the course of time Hannah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel saying Because I asked the lord for him Indeed, so you can see that after all that prayer, you know at the end of at the end of that prayer Well, Ellie is watching her. He says go on your prayers been answered, you know, and we can see now the results Just after that prayer, you know, he says that in the course of time god came through God came through right? Yeah Which is miraculous. I don't know, you know, just by praying and and Hannah certainly recognizes it You see even by the name that she gives him as you rightly put it He said because I asked the lord for him and god came through and he was able to have A child right But now we want to look at some of the most salient points particularly Looking at at what the spirit of prophecy says And I just like to invite misati here to read the the flashlight as we as we go back to to to um Set there later on with the punchlines misati. Just go right ahead So Hannah's prayer was granted. She received the gift for which she had so honestly Intreated as she looked upon the child. She called him Samuel asked of god As soon as the little one was old enough to be separated from his mother. She fulfilled her vow She loved her child with all the devotion of her mother's heart But she had received him as a treasure concentrated to god And she would not withhold him from the from the giver his own now I'd look at the first part of not flashlight where she gets her prayer answered And I think often we may view prayer in the wrong perspective Now Hannah is told Go your prayer has been answered But now it's not that anything is she doesn't just get pregnant just like that I mean because our prayers are not answered just like that. I mean so she just lives. Ah, yes My prayers been answered. So I'll now miraculously get pregnant like they Like no Has wasn't like Mary what we are told is that human effort had to match divine intervention In that by having faith that she's like, you know what I'm fertile So I'm fertile So I'll go have sex with my husband and I'll get a child and that is the faith that give her child If she decided, you know what my prayer has been answered I mean she's not gotten pregnant. She's not Mary. Mary was an exception to the rule. Yeah No, it's true. It's true. Um, you know, you must back up prayer with action And uh, we see Hannah did that and she did it in faith. I'd like to say she did it in faith She must have tried a hundred times before but then she now did it with faith. Uh, um I I perhaps maybe could you read the did you know part that did you know part which I'm right is really what we're trying to say in a very A concise manner that did you know part that did you know like did you know Prayer is opening of their heart to God as to a friend Not that it's necessary in order to make known to God what we are But in order to enable us to receive him prayer does not bring God down to us But brings us up to him, you know as in you know as in if we look at this perspective of opening up your heart As to a friend. What do you tell your friend? You tell your friend the ups the downs in graphic and horrifying Say I mean for you. It's like that's how you talk to your friend because you're like I trust you So it's in because you know God knows He already knows but then he wants you to speak He wants you to be able to exercise that faith and that like, you know what I want you God Connect with me. I mean just think about it. If you had a friend who knew everything about you Could you say that you can connect with them? Yeah, not exactly. It just feels mystical Yeah, but then when you open up to someone when you're the one who divulges the information You invite the person into your life to see you personally The way you really are Indeed and even after the analogy that you've given is quite right, you know Even after you you talk to a friend, you know and the friend gives you advice What do you do after you you go and act on it? You know you go and now put put put in place a plan of action for you to be able to carry it out Not because you know you you you have assurance that it's going to work But because really you believe You believe that you know, this is the best solution, right? And that's what we see here and it's an important aspect of prayer that Even after even after you have prayed Then you must move in faith, you know, just like Hannah did And so I just want to invite Seth With some of the punchlines just to look at other people who prayed and put it into action You know people who prayed and actually followed up Seth if you can read for us the first was Genesis chapter 20 verse 17 Okay Genesis chapter 20 verse 17 he says to god and to god healed Abimelech his wife and his female Slaves so that so they could have children again Precisely and this is talking about the the time when Abraham prayed to god. Remember Abraham had unfortunately lied that Sarah was his sister, right? And now he prays to god and god comes through once again Elias if you can be sorry Silas if you can read the book of first Samuel chapter 7 and 20 first 27 First some of the second seven First Samuel chapter 7 second Samuel chapter 7 first 27 Okay, it says Lord Almighty God of Israel you have revealed this to your servant saying I will build a house For you so your servant was found courage to pray this prayer to you Yeah, precisely and this verse is very good. This is almost showing us that we should not be afraid to pray You know, you look at The last part of that verse it says so your servant has found courage to pray this prayer to you You know, a lot of the times when we are feeling this heart and a lot of the times when we don't know where to go to It's even hard to talk to somebody, you know, because you might feel perhaps they might judge me Perhaps they will not understand how I how I feel where I'm coming from Perhaps maybe you're even in the wrong and you're afraid that there might be consequences If you divulge this information, but we have been told that it is not that way with god with god You can find courage. You can take Solitude you can take solace in confiding in him Misati if you can read for us Philippians chapter 4 verse 6 Don't be anxious for anything But in every situation by prayer and petition with thanksgiving Present your requests to god That's that's that's you know, don't be anxious for anything and here the bible is trying to tell us, you know Do not worry. Do not worry about anything, you know Misati, perhaps maybe just as you read that verse, I don't know How would you relate that verse to the story of hannah, you know, or you know to the story of hannah? Yes, indeed I see it is that hannah at first was anxious for a lot of things Because what would happen as hannah was the first wife typically because if penina got kids then then why would Elkhana need a backup Okay, so penina was the backup Yeah, so she was sort of like the subordinate to hannah then hannah could not get kids, but then now the society required Kids for the legacy to be continued. So hannah has no children penina enters the story has a child Has a second child has some more children and hannah is like god God when will my time come? So she was very anxious at the point she now goes to god She goes to god and says god you must Give me a child. I think similar to where jack was wrestling with god You could just see the way that for hannah it was in her spirit. She was like god you must You must you I mean it's like similar to when you see people speaking in tongues They're like ashto ashto and I mean they're just going on and on and on and on And then you're like, yes She was anxious And and you know, that's probably why perhaps even ellie as you read to play put it You know, that's why ellie even thought that she was drunk Yeah When he found out in the temple praying, you know, because she she she had left everything to god Perhaps I can just bring in the panel a little bit Silas, why do you think hannah wanted a baby so much? You know, why you know, I didn't she you know, when when when she talks to her husband Her husband says, you know, am I not like more than 10 sounds to you? You know, but why do you think just put yourself in shoes now? Why do you think she wanted a baby so much? Yeah, okay, perhaps I think just to Just to to stop to be able to stop penina from mocking her and Also feeling the The goodness of Having your own children I'd like to jump in right there because Like, you know, I find it fascinating that often we feel that god is too big too mighty to care for our whims and our desires For real like god answered hannah's whim. It was like god She's mocking me. Please. I don't want to be mocked. Just please. I mean the child is yours Okay, it feels a bit sad for some well to have been charged to the priest without his consent But that's another matter. But the thing is like god answered her whim. God answered her like This petty petty things like god God, I just want this as in for what just this kid dogo just a little just a little so I can feel that Yes, I had a child just as in that's a whim. That's something petty But god answered it god cared for hannah's pettiness. So you speak Yeah, he was he was right there in the midst of it. He knew Exactly how she felt, right? That's a very good one asset Just coming back to the punchlines. Please read for us from the book of nehemiah chapter nine verse 31 nehemiah chapter nine verse 31 Okay nehemiah Chapter nine was 31. It says do you Mercy do you did not put an end to the and born and born boredom them and or abandon them For you are glorious and merciful god Massive full god. Yeah, thank you for me. Yeah What this was is trying to say? remember Marking those years hannah really wanted somewhere to come to his to her life because I remember that scenario whereby a mother is consistent of having a child and remember God said bring bring your children back to me and It really touched me when I heard that hannah in the end decided to like Give somewhere to and then Ellie was kind enough to take someone somewhere as his own son because Hannah said specifically said that He if you give me a child I will I will Bring the child back to you Yeah Yeah, yeah, thank you so much for that And I think you've read the verse very well that says, you know, but in your great mercy, you did not put an end to them or abandon them For you are a gracious and merciful god You know, and I just wanted us to bring out to maybe just to tie up the loose ends You know in what way and this is really to everyone in what way Does this story for hannah demonstrate Christ's grace, you know his grace to us, you know We see that, you know in the power of prayer, you know, how how does the power of prayer demonstrate Christ's grace to us? This is really for anyone anyone can answer this Go right ahead Silas. I think you you want to say something Okay, I think this shows this story shows that anything we ask From god is not too small or too big to be answered by him. Yeah, it's Yeah, perhaps it's kind of says that as long as you ask he'll give you and As long as it's at the right time Yeah, we'll give it to you Yeah One question that I had was that did hannah deserve a child or was it merely by god grace that she got one? I think um Hannah really deserved that child because remember hannah used to mock him mocha penina. Yeah, penina used to mock her Penina used to mock her. Yeah, so in any any time that penina comes around hannah He she says that oh, you don't have a child. Why do you need a child that badly? Yeah, and remember what I said Before that hannah eventually decided to Take Samuel to the temple and he was at that time. He was staying with pristele and god called him in a very with a very at a very young age and I think it is amazing that god really cares about us and He eventually answered Hannah's prayer and hannah fulfilled her promise to Take back Samuel to the table. Yeah. Thank you for that. Uh, what do you guys think? I'll just stay on this a little while and then we'll move on to to to what you're bringing upstairs What do you think? Do you think that that hannah? Deserve that child or was it grace? I think the thing would be like what is grace? Grace is unmerited favor That's that's how I see grace. I think that's how the bible defines grace like to quote it in verbatim Now, I think is Like as human beings were like, what do I deserve? I deserve to be punished. I deserve to die As I don't deserve an abundant life because an abundant life comes to those who live holy and Concentrated lives those who have no seen in them the pages of sin is there But I think is here I'm like, how do I see christ's grace and I think when we look at grace the words and merited favor are inadequate to quantify and that satisfies like your Your longing for grace on a spiritual plane. Yeah, but you know, we live in the flesh day every day by day You know, we live in the flesh The question is how do I see christ's grace in the flesh? And I think hannah saw christ's grace in the flesh Because from the fruit of her womb She got her joy. Indeed. And I think it's the same way like hannah was what she was direct And I find this translation I reading I'm reading from look 11 Boss 10 I mean this translation direct Don't bargain with god Be direct Ask for what you need. This is not a cat and mouse Hide and seek game we are in That is that's the thing like be direct with god Speak to god And be like don't be double minded Because you're like god, I want this god. I don't want it god could be like as inside god This is what I desire hannah was clear. I desire a son She wasn't I desire a daughter. She was clear. She was specific. I want a son Give me a son And that's what she got Just direct she was direct and that's a very good point that you bring Grace is really unmerited forever. And I think that you if you look at the story even hannah herself Saw that this was actually a gift from god You know, she had been trying it her own way. She had been trying it her own way for such a long time And didn't write in yeah, that reminds me of rachel Yeah, the story of rachel and laia because I think rachel tried it her own way so hard She tried it her own way so hard and I mean and it was so hard to the point That one of laia's children came with the mandrake. The mandrake is a Sort of like an aphrodisiac That they used in that time. So then rachel was like, you know what? Give me the aphrodisiac. Then I'll give you my turn to have sex with jackal She was she was so dedicated. She was like I want it As in I'm going to do it my own way. I must Yeah, I mean, so that's the thing. So she was trying it her own way and accepting with hannah Yeah, it's impeccable. You know, we do it all the time In and we have to remember children. We don't deserve children Children are a gift from god. You look at even abraham and sarah You know trying to get the promissan They did it their own way where they got haga to come and try and get a child, you know So she recognized it Implicitly whether you like it or not. She recognizes that, you know, children are a gift from god I don't really deserve a child. I've tried. I've tried. I've tried. I've tried. I've tried. I've tried. I don't know We have done what with with alkanah, but we can't get one So she went there and prayed to the only source that she that she knows and god grants her prayer And she granted so much that now we move on to what you were saying Which is really the friday part and I'd like to ask If you have if you have your bible if you can read for us from Ephesians chapter 6 verse 18 Ephesians chapter 6 verse 18 And it's and the question likes, you know, if you want something so bad You've prayed for it so bad. God has finally granted it to you Ephesians chapter 6 verse 18 You've granted it. God has finally given it to you And then he asks you to give it back to him. That sounds that sounds tough. Okay Yeah, Ephesians 6 6 18 It says pray always with all your heart pray always with all and play pray with Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the spirit and watching there and to with all Savior Perseverance and supplication for all Saints Yeah, it says praying always with all prayer And supplication in the spirit and watching there and to with all perseverance And supplication for all saints This is an admonition that we're given at the end of the book of Ephesians by paul And he's telling us really to pray, you know, to to to to to to supplicate ourselves You know and really just put ourselves in the shoes of one who is really in need And that's the and that's where hannah was but now I want to ask our panelists and just seek some opinion When you're praying like that, what sort of attitude do you have to have to finally receive that thing? And then give it out You know, you've prayed like hannah people have thought you're drunk. What sort of attitude do you think hannah had? to You know pray in such a manner And then still give it out I think the word look at it is that hannah viewed having a child as the process rather than the destination That is so having the child was a process That pregnancy period Yeah, the breastfeeding period for why she saw it as a process So it's like the same way job said the lord who has given has taken naked kmi from my mother's womb And naked shall I return? Wow? And I think that's how hannah approached it. She was like, you know what? God desires to give me an abundant life And whatever he asks of me Will always be either a pathway to an abundant life Or it will be A milestone in my abundant life. Wow. Wow. I think she realized because for her Thing I became fascinating that she had many other sons after and daughters actually Yeah, no, it's true. It's true. Um, so essentially what I hear you say is that she had an attitude of trust She trusted that, you know, god had the power even not only to give her one child But even to give her more, you know, and and and that's the sort of attitude that we should have even when we pray You know, we should have an attitude of trust an attitude where we are able to Despite all evidence to the contrary, you know, fine. I've not had a child for long I've just had one gd. Please at least give me two You know, but she she trusts in the abundance of god, you know, she trusts that god has the power even to give me more You know, and uh, and it's incredible. I just wanted us to read the father insight. We said to perhaps you can read for us Uh, the father insight, uh, just on on on on how we should pray and the sort of attitude we should have in response to that Okay, I think the attitude we should have while praying is humility knowing your place in front of word Knowing why you're praying and why you really need what you're asking for Before you actually go to god and ask him for it. Okay. Okay. No, thank you for that addition And that's totally true. Uh, go ahead with the father insight Father insight speaks to us that our prayers are not to be a selfish asking Merely for own benefit. We are to ask that we may give And we are to look upon every duty however humble as sacred because it is a part of god service Our daily prayers should be lord help me to do my best Hit me how to do better work Give me energy and cheerfulness Help me to bring into my service The loving ministry of the saviour Yeah, indeed indeed I like I like the first quote that you read and that quote come from christ object lesson page 142 and it says, you know, our prayers Are not to be a selfish asking merely for our own benefit. We are to ask that we may give You know, and that really encapsulates the whole A story of hannah, you know, she asked for that child You know, she asked for that child and was ready to give it back You know to give back the child back to the service of god, you know And uh, we know the story of someone he later turns on to be a great judge in israel, you know And so just from that one selfless act, I'd call it selfless wouldn't you? I think that's too very selfless on her part. She could have hung on to that child But she gave out willingly. I don't know if we have anything to say that before we comment on the second one Yeah That wasn't like that selfish But remember hannah really wanted to give The child back to god and She prayed without season and you know, if you pray consistently You have first of all you have to think on what you want to pray for Like let me take as an example um, if someone wants to pray to get a financial increase of whatever uh, business they are doing in today's life maybe you if you want to Open your own business and you don't have the financial Assess the financial help that you need And you have to like think first Before you actually Go to the action Yeah Okay, no, I think you bring an important point Whenever we pray we must we must ask what is the end result? When what is the end result of what I get? What you know, is it going to be a benefit to other people? You know, what's what's what's in it for others? You know, it's not all about you. It's not all about me All right The second part is really a part that you know admonishes us to do our best in whatever we do I like the last part particularly that you read me saturday that says, you know Our daily prayer our daily prayer should be lord Help me to do my best Teach me how to do better work. Give me energy and cheerfulness Help me to bring into my service the loving ministry of the saviour, right? And this should be your daily prayer really Yeah So ladies and gentlemen, we've come to the end of the lesson, but it's a wonderful lesson I just want to give the panelists perhaps two minutes each two minutes each or Just to to tell us really what is their parting short? What do you think that one should learn from this lesson? What did you learn from this lesson? And what what do you think is pertinent for us as we read this lesson? I will start at the very end there with To me I learnt that Whenever you pray you have to Think fast before you actually pray for the thing And I've learnt a very valuable lesson from the story of harner Is that God said bring your children come Bring your children back to me and it really helps us in that suspect that we At times do Something bad out here like for example Taking alcohol and such stuff and it's harmful to our bodies and I think we should not Follow the advice that we have From our friends. Yeah Okay. Thank you so much So As I read this lesson and I looked at the title prayer power So of course the title isn't a question. It's a statement We are declaring that prayer has power now the question is how And then the answer I found that question is we may often we often look at power as some mystical Power as some mystical entity when in reality the more accurate view of prayer Is what new age people call manifestation? Other people are like I am going to meditate clear your mind. That's sort of thing like what prayer does At first prayer becomes a sort of meditation Where it allows you to see things from a higher perspective It allows you to look beyond your current issues and connect with the power greater than yourself A power that is above and beyond your problems And in that moment you have an objective view of your problems I think that people who are like it just came to me Our spring and the answer came to me and the idea came to me and I had a voice The same thing with Elijah like he had a still small voice and then pray is a sort of manifestation Why would I say this in manifestation? Well, like, you know, you need to allow the universe when you align yourself with the universe Okay, fine But I think we look at the I think we often shun what we do not understand as satanic But if we look at what what would this possibly mean God has put in this world laws He has put into this world dictates And that is if you throw yourself off of a high building you're gonna fall down and you're gonna die You're gonna break some bones as in gravity is real So in the same way God has put into place The law that whatever you pursue with your whole heart That what James calls a man who is not double-minded When you pursue something with your whole heart God is going to grant it to you regardless of who you are Because it is his law and his law is immutable and changeable and absolute And that is why often there may be people who We may see that succeed But then the reality is They don't see prayer a some mystical thing They see it as a way of being real like Jacob Jacob was really was like, you know what I'm gonna make sure that the only Animals that meet are the animals that are Mine that is I'm gonna make sure that the children at a born Are actually a speckled one And then after it's like then they once which are not speckled so his prayer Moved into the realm of practicality He acted Thank you very much that's very elaborate there So as a finish he just wants us to Remember that when we are praying we need to know what we are asking for why And how is it going to help us and help the people around us?
