* Not enough faith

- Jam1:6-7 (wind-tossed faith)
- How improve faith? Word {Rom10:17} and obedience {Jam2:22}
* In love w/ world, stingy
- You believe $ = security.
- Prayer not for just you, but others
- "I never apologize for asking you to give" -- what Lord wants {Isa58:7-10}
- Result of giving is increased prayer power
* Don't want what you're asking for enough
- Comfort major weakness for believers
- Jam5:16 (earnest prayer)
- Jon3:8 (urgent prayer)
- Jer29:12-13 (seek w/ all heart)
* Not enough emphasis on corporate prayer
- Lord wants interdependency among brethren
- Acts1:14
- Acts2:1,42
