What Is Prayer?
Prayer is communicating, talking and listening to God.
Prayer is not a form of meditation but a connection
of our soul with God as we speak to our creator.
In prayer we seek God as we believe in Him by faith.
God wants to have a personal relationship with us.
God wants to hear and answer our prayers.
Prayer can be out loud or silent, formal or informal.
We can cry out to heaven and pour out our soul
before the Lord as we draw close to Him.

O Lord, please hear my prayer!

We ALSO should pray because Our Lord Jesus told us to pray.

We are to pray with all our heart (Jeremiah 29:13) offered with humbleness (2 Chronicles 7:14).
We are to pray with FAITH (Mark 11:24),
righteousness, obedience (1 John 3:22) but also with respect and Godly fear (Proverbs 1:7).
We are to pray persistently and can also be specific with our needs. Once we pray we are not to worry about it anymore as we have put our needs in God's hands, but don't stop praying about it.

One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up.
