We have no problem with people who believe in prayer, it's their business.
But there is a movie encouraging people to take their heads out of the sand.
The movie is Contradiction, a documentary, written and directed by Jeremiah Camara.
This film examines the correlation between the all the churches that are out there and the poverty in African American communities across the United States.
As Camara asks Martin Luther King III how can there be so many social problems in black communities when there is a church on every corner, he is left speechless.
Camara also points out that the most common prayer postures are in fact slave postures—hands together when shackled, kneeling, begging for mercy from a master who controls everything.
In the documentary we hear a preacher say, “Self-sufficiency will never work!”
“Depend on Jesus for everything."
It even says so it the good book, "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God—not the result of works, so that no one may boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9).
