A crumpled check is still good money, if the signature is on it. So is a crumpled prayer, if Jesus name is really on it.<\/em> -J. Piper<\/p>\n

Not sure how to pray for your weight loss?\u00a0 Not sure your motives are right?\u00a0 Maybe you feel like too much of a failure in this problem area to even bring it up to God.\u00a0 The good news is that God doesn\u2019t require perfect prayers. He doesn\u2019t even require good people to pray them.\u00a0 If you are His child, you have the privilege of praying in His name.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t matter how crumpled that prayer is, you have the right to ask!<\/p>\n

Wondering if you do have the right — if you truly ARE His child?\u00a0Click here to see my message about God.<\/a><\/p>\n
