Prayer

So over the last couple weeks, we have been having some interesting conversations about prayer with Joel and Wendy. We have been talking through how much our prayers really affect how God will heal people or if we will find the right car, house, etc. Is prayer more for us and our relationship with God or if a "certain" number of prayers are "logged in" about a certain issue, will God change what will happen.

I have always wondered about this and it has been interesting to research this some more. We tried a word study with the Gospels, but that didn't prove to help us that much. Then Wendy and I found a great workbook that looked like it would help us understand this subject. Well, come to find out the author is a little shady so that idea flew out the window. Do any of you have a good book on prayer? We really haven't had any luck finding a book that specifically talks about prayer and how it's used in scripture. If you have any idea, we would love to hear them!
