Prayer is.....

Luke 6:12 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

We all need to come upon a peaceful and yet zealous attitude towards prayer. I think we all may have a different idea as to what prayer is....prayer doesn’t “help” God--prayer is a means to humble ourselves in mindful silence to remind ourselves and remind God we know His attributes and holiness and we understand our sinfulness and our many weaknesses. Prayer is a lifeline of meaningful thoughts and words that will come to us when we practice our faith in silence and solitude. Prayer is our crying out at times to our Heavenly Father the way we may have cried out to our earthly fathers or mothers in days gone by. Scripture says, in those moments, our Lord not only hears us, but will never forget our hurts in this life. 

Isaiah 49:15 (KJV 1900) — 15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, That she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, Yet will I not forget thee.
