What is prayer? I believe it is our connection to God. Our communication with our creator. Whether it is silent, contemplative, or medatative or in song, music, or speaking out loud. Every time you pray you enter into that relationship with God. You say to God, I trust you with this, my life etc, you ask for help, you seek guidance, you believe that God is listening, and you give God your time, presence, and love.
Why pray? I think the answer varies from moment to moment for each person. Overall, the reason is to put your trust, love, and life into the hands of the one who created and loves you more than anyone else ever could.
Today, pray!
Prayer is communication with someone you love…so I put my husband’s name in all the areas you listed above and it worked…what was missing was the importance and time to LISTEN to the beloved communicating with ME…Pray always in All Ways…
