However, readers tend to tune out of the blog on Friday and begin tuning back in Sunday evening, so I probably won't post a response until Sunday evening or so. stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547070544928321788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-68387257599910331512012-08-17T13:45:43.368-04:002012-08-17T13:45:43.368-04:00Steve,

I haven't studied much on whether there is or a if sharp distinction should even be made between the two.<br /><br />I ask because recently I have been struggling over long prayers in church that seem to me to be speaking primarily to the listeners rather than to God. (i.e. "Dear Lord, who saved us from our sins, please remember us, who are were dead in our sins, please heal *this person* because you are the great physician" etc) I feel like corporate prayers are often bleeding the line into sermons.<br /><br />But since prayer isn't trying to convince God of anything perhaps that is okay and I'm making too much of it.<br /><br />I guess I was just wondering if you had any thoughts or recommendations for reading that might help clear this up for me.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for the post.<br /><br />In Christ,<br />JeremiahJeremiahZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021879988630319753noreply@blogger.com
