Communing with God in Prayer
Summary
R.C. Sproul addresses the tension between God’s sovereignty and the practice of prayer, distinguishing between supplication and adoration. He argues that God’s foreknowledge does not diminish adoration but rather enhances it, using human relationships to illustrate the value of verbal communication. Sproul emphasizes that prayer is essential for communion with God, as humans primarily connect through speech rather than silent thought.
