6/12CHIESA/LEE GROUP – There are some incredible prayers in the Bible and some very remarkable people who prayed them. Of course in their own eyes they weren't remarkable at all. They felt they were as ordinary as you and I feel. But they touched the heart of God in one way or another and were included in the scripture to be examples for us. As we examine some of these great prayers of the Bible we too can pray incredible prayers. We can see miraculous answers. We can affect history. We can touch the heart of God. Our prayers in God's hands aren't as ordinary as we think.
