Prayer

God created us for one reason: to know Him and love Him and have fellowship with Him. Time spent with God is vital if we desire to have a fruitful Christian life.  And prayer is the primary way to have communion with God. It’s fellowship, relationship, and intimacy with Him. Prayer is conversation. It’s dialogue (two-way), not monologue (one-way). Prayer is both talking and listening. Most of the time we spend in prayer should be just thanking, loving, praising, appreciating, and hanging out with the Lord—nothing special or dramatic. The vast majority of prayer is simply visiting with God!  And as the foundation of every Christian endeavor, it plays a vital role in living a successful Christian life.
