One might ask: "What is prayer?"

Well, I'm glad you asked :)

PRAYER is having a conversation with God as one would have with a best friend. Prayer must be a priority and a necessity for every Christian. Without prayer, a Christian would lose his/her way. It's a way to draw near to our God, to appreciate Him and to seek his favor.

HOW you pray and WHAT you pray about are equally important. Bible states that the Pharisees were sure to pray often and they also prayed long - but God never heard nor answered them - because their prayers were never right. Your prayers should not always be loaded with requests like; "Lord, I want a job. I want a house. I want a car. I want...

Bible tells us to make our request known to God through prayer and supplication - so there's nothing wrong with the "I wants". 

But your prayer must be loaded with thanksgiving, gratitude, worship, praises, request for forgiveness of sins, and intercession for others. Don't forget that PRAYER breaks the gates of hell. Prayer tears down the stronghold of Satan over your life. 

Prayer makes you untouchable to Satan and his cohorts. Prayer constantly gives you victory over the enemy. Prayer moves God to tackle Spiritual and physical issues that you didn't even know existed. That is why 1 Thessalonians 5:17 tells us to, "Never stop praying"

So, my friends, talk to God about EVERYTHING and everyone in your life. May God continue to bless you and your families!
