Prayer becomes a natural reflex like breathing. We don’t need to search for prayer content. We just need to love the Lord by learning His word and love others in the church in an intimate way. In following the two greatest commandments, we’ll have the knowledge we need to pray appropriately. In our love for the Lord we will naturally have a desire to speak continually with Him and in our love for others we know the best thing we can do for them is pray. You see, prayer is birthed not from duty, but from relationship – first love to God and then love to others.

INSTRUCTIONS

(the name comes from the fact that the cake calls for no eggs, no milk, and
no butter)
*NOTE:  (Since the shortening is melted, I substituted Canola oil, thus, I
think, saving a LOT of cholestrol and saturated fats!)
Boil brown sugar, 1 1/4 C water, oil or shortneing, raisins and spices
together for three minutes.  Let cool to room temperature.
Add salt and baking soda, dissolved in 2 tsp water. Sift together flour and
baking powder, add gradually, beating after each addition.
Grease and flour 8" square pan.  (I used nonfat spray instead).
Bake at 325 for approximately 50 minutes, until it tests done.
Needs no frosting.
(would be HEAVENLY with a big blob of whipped cream...but it's really
unnecessary.  this sucker is GOOD!)
