.  Prayer is not a tug of war with God!      
                        You have wear God down until he give in & gives you.
                        Beg – please, please, pretty please  give me
                        Bargain – God, if you do this for me, I’ll do that for you
                        Bribe – make a sales pitch to God
                       We cannot keep on pestering and badgering God until he gives in
 Prayer is not a ritual to relieve guilt!
             You really blew it- sinned- so you have pay for it by praying a lot
  Jesus specifically told us to NOT repeat the same thing over & over
            MT. 6:7says “When you pray DO NOT use meaningless repetition
            thinking that you will be heard for your many words.” (NAS)
                   Not mindless ritual…repeating clichés...over and over again.
