I have heard that in prayer we can be totally honest with God, even cry and yell and demand for help when we need it. I recently have seen videos of prosperity preachers screaming in prayer and demanding things of God that seem strange. So how should we model ourselves in prayer?</p> <p>2. What does Hebrews 12 mean when it says that “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses”? Who are these witnesses, angels, believers who have died, or something else?</p> <p>3. <a class="rtBibleRef" href= "https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Phil%202.4" data-reference="Phil 2.4" data-version="esv" data-purpose="bible-reference">Philippians 2:4</a> says that I should put the needs of others ahead of my own. <a class="rtBibleRef" href= "https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Matt%205.40" data-reference= "Matt 5.40" data-version="esv" data-purpose= "bible-reference">Matthew 5:40</a> says that if someone asks me for my shirt, I should give them my coat also. So, if someone approaches me with a need and I have the resources to help I almost always help them. I do, however, have Christian friends who criticize me because they think I’m letting other people take advantage of me. Are they right?</p> <p>4.  Since Muslims actually admit that Jesus is an anointed messenger and messiah, and in light of <a class="rtBibleRef" href="https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Matt.%2010.32" data-reference= "Matt. 10.32" data-version="esv" data-purpose= "bible-reference">Matt. 10:32</a>, where Jesus says that, “So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven,” do Christians do well to condemn Muslims just because they do not confess the Christ of the creeds?</p> <p> </p> <h4><strong>Resources</strong></h4> <p><
