Culture influences our lives and strives to direct us to help ourselves and build our lives upon our own power (e.g. Karma), but this creates a weight upon our lives from trying to be in control of everything and the weight of trying to be everything.

Prayer reminds us that Jesus is in control and it is not about what I have to do, but what Jesus has already done. Prayer brings Possibility. The Possibility of what Jesus can do in our lives when we surrender and freedom from bearing the weight of this life that Jesus was meant to bear.
