This is an oldie but a goodie. Prayer does work… as long as you do something practical, too.


A Georgia pastor believes so much in prayer that he’s going to pray down gas prices:
Beacon of Light Christian Center is planning the Saturday prayer gathering at gas pumps outside a Kroger grocery store in Dublin.
Pastor Marshall Mabry said he believes that if church members come together and pray as a community, they can make something happen.
Mabry said that with prices reaching almost $4, he says he plans to ask God for help.
He said it’s the third time members of his congregation have met at gas pumps to pray.
Since gas prices have a good chance of coming down on their own, it seems like a pretty safe bet.
This guy must know you don’t want to pray for actual miracles publicly, because those don’t seem to happen.
