What is Prayer?

Jesus says prayer is simply, and honestly talking to God. You don’t have to pray in a church and you don’t have to sound religious. God loves you and wants you to be real with them. You can pray out loud. You can pray silently. He listens wherever and whenever. Prayer is a way of communicating with God. We pray to thank Him, to praise Him, to tell Him we love Him. We also pray to ask for wisdom and guidance. It is not seeking our own will but aligning ourselves with God’s will more fully. 1 John 5:14-15 “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.”
