What is prayer?

Prayer is the attitud of seeking God’s presence. In the settings of prayer, pride and ego must be abandoned and left behind so that our communion with the heavenly Father pleases him. In prayer we find hope and supplication is made. Prayer is essential for every christians and must be alimented by faith and hope.Prayer is the privilege of touching the heart of the Father through the Son of God, Jesus our Lord.

The Bible advises us on the importance of praying.But, most of the time we ignore prayer and seek to accomplish in the strength of our own wills those things that we desire to have or happen. For those of us who are too often guilty of this, we need to bow our knees, confess our sin, receive God's forgiveness, and beg that the will of the Lord be done above our own. God is sovereign and loving and He knows what is best for us and others, even if it doesn't always seem to make the most sense.

Praying is good, it is our way of talking to God, but reading the bible is God’s way of talking to us. We should balance those two variables of the christians life to make our will correspond with the will of God for our lives.
