CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1981—PAGE 15 UCWhave busy schedule Mrs. Scene presided for the November meeting of Unit I of Hensall United Church. Helen used an ar- ticle written by Rev. Davidson to explain that most people today do very little praying. Part of our difficulty with respect to prayer comes from our need to use words when we pray. We use words in prayer not because God needs them but because we need them. We aren't letting God do anything. He knows all our needs, aspirations, deserved and sins. When we pray we must be sure that we really want to be prided by Cod. Prayer the only kind that counts takes much time and effort.
