As the summer comes to an end and a new ministry season launches in many congregation, I thought we should start a new segment on Out of Ur. So every Friday we will have a post about prayer called "Praying for the Weekend." What exactly is prayer? How should we think about it theologically? And how do we reconcile prayer with the sovereignty of God?

We begin with a bit of audio by Tim Keller as he reflect on the paradox of prayer. Enjoy, and have a great weekend.
