Publisher's Synopsis
Everyone loves a great mystery! I know I do. Mysteries are certainly mysterious things. They can be enigmatic or even unfathomable. In the Christians religion a mystery is a truth that can only be known by revelation. Many things can be mysteries to one degree or another. Take prayer for example. Out of all the things prayer is, it can be a quite mysterious thing. If God is sovereign, that is to say in control of His creation, then why pray? Prayer then would not matter, right? The underlying notion here is this, if mankind could somehow in any way limit God or if God was limited in any way by man, then God would surely cease to be God. Prayer is the monkey wrench in the system in that it implies that God can be moved or influenced in some way and consequently has a limitation. This no doubt is a grand mystery. However, I want to move on to another aspect in the mystery of prayer, that of angelic involvement. Angels in and of themselves are mysterious but there participation in prayer is not less enigmatic. How and when do angels entangle themselves in our prayers? What part do they play if any? Why on God's green earth am I even attempting to discuss this? There's a mystery! For one, angels transect prayer in a very mysterious way. So mysterious that it will take the sacred scriptures to enlighten us.
