In today's GB News Daily Reflections, we remember that part of the adventure of the Christian life is the invitation into prayer, and with prayer there's always more to discover."Jesus's disciples watched him closely, and then they asked him, Lord, teach us how to pray. When a doctoral student approached Albert Einstein about what further areas of research desperately needed to be undertaken, he famously replied, find out about prayer. We need to discover more about prayer."Now, there are no simple formulas with prayer, but it is an amazing provision. And what I've discovered over many years is that when we pray, things happen that simply don't happen when we don't pray."

00:04Hi my name is Andy and I'm a vicar in the Church of England. On a short visit to Edinburgh a
00:14fortnight ago I was intrigued to see a number of buses carrying an advert which said try praying
00:21it could change your life. It looked like an imaginative initiative of a group of churches
00:28up there. Part of the adventure of the Christian life is the invitation into prayer and with prayer
00:36there's always more to discover. Jesus' disciples watched him closely and then they asked him Lord
00:43teach us how to pray. When a doctoral student approached Albert Einstein about what further
00:50areas of research desperately needed to be undertaken he famously replied find out about
00:57prayer we need to discover more about prayer. Now there are no simple formulas with prayer but it
01:05is an amazing provision and what I've discovered over many years is that when we pray things happen
01:13that simply don't happen when we don't pray. On a strategic leadership course I attended at Windsor
01:20Castle ten years ago a key takeaway for me was the principle that you can only control the control
