those times. Many become bitter or re-gretful toward such a

             reaction from God, and leave the church.
               The prayer of the body deals with an important aspect of

             our lives, but it rarely gets an-swered. It is because the needs
             of the flesh are asked with passions of the flesh. People

             do not possess a correct understanding in not asking with
             the passions of the flesh. The passion here is referring to a

             worldly manner. Asking in accordance with God’s will is
             not asking for passions of the flesh. As stated by Apostle

             John, the worldly things are “the cravings of sinful man, the
             lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does.”

             (John 2:16) Not receiving, in spite of asking, is due to asking
             through the worldly passions.

               A person who ends a prayer session in a prayer of the body
             do not even know who we are praying to. That person does

             not even know what a prayer is. It’s as if an entire day was
             just spent on “spacing out”. As “spacing out” requires an

             object of interaction, that person chose God to “space out”.
             The person in that type of prayer does not notice God, nor

             does God take notice of him. That type of prayer reflects a
             bitter, tough and tiresome life. It is because there is no one to

             help.
