DEAR DR. GRAHAM: Do you lave any

DEAR T. A. A.: I believe the first step for you may be to
understand the importance of prayer in god’s eyes. Prayer
isn’t to be treated God has told us it
should be at the ede centre of our lives as Christians. In fact,
His Word repeatedly commands us to pray. The Bible says,
“Pray continually” (1 Thessalonians 6:17). It also states, “I
urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and
thanksgiving be made for everyone” {1 Timothy 2:1).

Why is prayer important? First of all, it is important for
us. You have certain spiritual needs, and one of the purposes
of prayer is to bring these to God and allow His Holy Spirit to
search our hearts. When we pray we should confess our sins
to God and claim His promises of forgiveness. When we pray

our lives in the right. way; we need God’s wisdom and we
bring'vorteed to’ Hftd ih praydr.n) Ove cr nerrinen = ron

-As long as we think we are-self-suffidient-and do not need?
God very much we will never pray. But when we see our need
of God every hour of the day we will naturally turn to Him
frequently. Perhaps your problem is that you do not see your

-need of God’s wisdom and grace every day..

Prayer also is important because of others. Intercession
(praying for others) should be an important part of our prayer
life. We may not understand how God answers prayers we
make for others — but there is ample.proof that He does. In
this connection, many people find it helpful to keep a prayer
list to.remind them of the needs of others.

Ask God to show you your need of prayer, then set aside
definite times to come to Him when you will not be distracted.
“Devote yourselves to prayer, being atchifel and thankful”
{Ci

4:2),

we also seek His will for our lives, jally as 5 we face

; For example, last sum-
mir, in Britain, we walked:
along Hadrian's Wall which,
almost two millennia ago, ran
for'70-odd miles over hill and,
dale between whats now thé

milles of’ the 15-foot-high,
eight-foot-wide wall with its
watch towers and fortified

thilecastles still ‘stand. (It has.

they were built by the
Roman soldier-engineers.

As we studied the tools,
utensils and clothing’ (pre-
served in peat), and walked
in the rain along the slippery
stones of the top of the wall,
2,000 years of time collapsed
and we looked out of the eyes
of long-dead Roman soldiers
and cursed: the cold,. mist-
shrouded hills of gorse which
concealed savage Caledonian

warriors and sudden, violent -
death, ‘and though longingly -

of the warm shelter of the
strong stone town, of hot

grumpy old Mordechai has

And-once again, he is into
the Jewish thing. In short, he
has once more fe-written the
same novel that he has been
honing for years. He wrote
one about a young Jew, then
-about a slightly older Jew,
then about a youngish
middle-aged Jew, and this
one is about.a really middle-
aged Jew. I’m looking for-

old Jew.

Simply, Mordecai Richler,
after a-couple of good at-
tempts, went back to the fec-~

drank deeply. The results are
first-rate.

He has net yet produced a
