A while ago, I did a survey on the topic of prayer among teenagers and young adults from all over France. It was a short survey with only two questions, but I found the answers really interesting. I want to share it with you, and if you’d like, you can answer these two questions...

Don’t deprive yourself of this gift—it’s a powerful force in prayer because you can be sure you’re praying according to God’s will. And we know that if we pray according to His will, He hears us. Your prayer life will accelerate, and you’ll never run out of words again. On the contrary, you’ll be able to pray for hours without growing tired.

When life doesn’t unfold the way you expected, when bad news keeps coming with no sign of hope, bringing pain and disappointment along with it, optimism no longer seems to be enough.
