Lesson Nine: How We Should Pray — and Why It Matters
Some people think that just because they pray and “put on a holy face” that God will bless them, or answer their prayers the way they want Him to, or at least that He won’t discipline them for what they know is sinful behavior. And that is simply wrong. Prayer was never intended to be used to try to bribe God into doing what you want Him to. You are not to try to fulfill your own lusts and desires through prayer. Prayer is not a Christmas list. People that try to use prayer this way impugn the integrity of God and are blaspheming (slandering) His character—whether they know it or not.
