When I was a young man back there in seminary school
There was a person who put forth the proposition
That you can petition the LORD, with prayer.
Petition the LORD with PRAYER!
YOU CANNOT PETITION THE LORD, WITH PRAYER!!
(Jim Morrison from the song, The Soft Parade!)

Let's not overdo it! Or, everything in moderation!
Modern Muslim's have no idea how lucky they are!
I just found out that Muhammad originally wanted people to pray 12 times a day, but, after much debate, his followers finally talked him out of it and he settled on five times a day!
Good thing too, otherwise you poor people wouldn't have time to do anything else during the day except pray!

Jesus saves, God invests!
I'll tell you a quick true story. We had a Volkswagen Dealership here in Ontario for many years (what else do you expect from a German!) and one of our customers (who was very religious) was an artist of some renown.
We decided it would be a good idea to get him to paint a mural on the showroom wall. (You know, a nice little Bavarian village in a valley in the Alps with a church steeple in the middle. All cosy like!)
My Father approached him about it and asked him how much he would charge to do the work.
His answer was; "I don't know, I will have to ask "God" and get back to you.
"Fair enough," we said, and waited for his reply.
A few days later he came back, gave us a good price, and my Father said; "Go Ahead!"
A few years later business was good and we opened up a branch office in a small town not too far away, and once again we approached our artist friend and asked him how much to do the wall on that showroom. Same answer; "I will have to ask God and get back to you." O.K. fine!
A few days later he again came back to us but this time quoted a price that was twice as much for a job about half as big!!!
My Father looked at him and said; "O.K. but you go tell God that this is the last job you're getting from us!"
