Americans are hardly more religious than people living in other industrialized countries. Yet they consistently—and more or less uniquely—want others to believe they are more religious than they really are.

When you ask Americans about their religious beliefs, it's like asking them whether they are good people, or asking whether they are patriots. They'll say yes, even if they cheated on their taxes, bilked Medicare for unnecessary services, and evaded the draft. Asking people how often they attend church elicits answers about their identity—who people think they are or feel they ought to be, rather than what they actually believe and do.

self-reported church attendance has been held up as proof that America has somehow resisted the secularizing trends that have swept other industrialized nations. What if those numbers are spectacularly wrong?

actual "church attendance rates for Protestants and Catholics are approximately one half" of what people reported.

nearly 50 percent more people claimed they attended services when asked the type of question that pollsters ask: "Did you attend religious services in the last week?"

Prayer is the way of reaching God. Life is full of trials and situations that we don't know how to face on our own, and there is nothing too small or too big to ask God for in Prayer. Jesus said we do not have what we need because we fail to ask. I want to help provide a Prayer Bible Study of hope and peace in hard times that only God can give. I have personally seen God answer prayers and I would be honored to share with You His Principles and the proper way to pray for your needs.
