Intro: Often praying is made to appear as such a great task that the

average Christian will not even attempt to do real business at the throne

of grace. Today we are going to look at four short, simple prayers that

God did answer with great results which, if prayed from a heart of

genuine sincerity would produce a revival in a person's life.

God is not impressed by how Long, Loud, or Logical our prayers may be,

but they must be Honorable, Humble and Honest.
