Prayer

I love some of these definitions of prayer:
To pray is to breathe. Do it deeply and you will be filled with life. Julie Mann
Prayer is the practice of the presence of God. anon
Prayer is breathing out the cares and distractions of this world and breathing in the grace and peace of God. Ric
Prayer is the privilege of touching the heart of the Father through the Son of God, Jesus our Lord. anon
Prayer is opening your eyes to view things through God's perspective. Ric
Prayer is the oxygen of the spirit and the soul. Craig Hepplewhite

In a world that is about simplifying, self-sufficiency, self-gratification, self this and self that prayer is the one thing that centres me so much more completly in the will of God.
It isn't complicated, it isn't judged, it is as personal and sacred as you make it and not just something to be considered, pursued, or practised. But rather something to be enjoyed, celebrated, and as natural as breathing.
To truly know God you must spend time with Him and we connect through prayer.
