The right prayer attitude

John Piper has pointed out that too many of us pray as if our prayers were a car radio playing tunes. It's there, it's comforting, and we'd notice if it were turned off. When we're praying about our families, we need to pray as if our prayers were a soldier's walkie-talkie in the heat of battle. You need instructions, now! You are required to report what's going on, now! There are lives on the line.
