INSIDE: LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE

The Editors

The pace of life today doesn't leave a lot of room for prayer in the midst of everything else. But strangely enough, when things get really tough, we do manage to find the time we thought just wasn't available.

One of the recent lessons from the Gulf War, for example, was that people would make time for prayer services—at noon, evening, and even on those busy weekends full of chores and mandatory recreation—when they thought the need was truly serious.

The world's needs are still serious, and as our cover story points out, it may be time to ask some questions in regard to assumptions we've been making about the time we have for praying. As Ann Kenrick's editorial tells us, we need to keep the focus on what is spiritually essential. When we're willing to give first priority to God, as Christ Jesus required, we are not only more loving but also more effective.
