Prayer is simply and sincerely talking with God.
It is a vital part of our Christian growth and should be done each day.
Just as a plant needs the light of the sun to flourish, Christians need a daily communication with their Maker.
The main reason we have been created is to have initimate fellowship with God.
Three Kinds of Prayer:
- Praise – Expressing our appreciation to God for who He is.
