What is Prayer?
Is prayer a message to God? A note or a verbal letter? Is it meditation, or a conversation? Is it a request line? Is it a formal confessional?
Do you ever find yourself in a group of people having a conversation. While its active a free flowing someone gives a look like "can i speak to you alone?". Or you were the one asking to speak to them alone?
They want to take you aside so you'll talk with them one on one. Not that they couldn't talk in front of everyone but that they wanted your attention and yours alone.
Maybe to share ideas or express their concerns that wouldn't have matter if they had said it in front of the group of people but they really wanted to make a personal connection with you.
I was told that Mother thereasa was once asked; "what do you say to God when you pray?"
She Answered; "Nothing, I listen."
Then she was asked; "Well what does God say Then?" She Replied; "Nothing, He is listening".
A constant communication of the heart. Prayer is a relationship with God.
Matthew 14:23
After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone
Romans 8:26
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.
