Christian prayer has been described this way: True prayer is an approach of the soul by the Spirit of God to the throne of God…True prayer is neither a mere mental exercise nor a vocal performance. It is far deeper than that-it is (a) spiritual transaction with the Creator of heaven and earth…our spirit communes with Him, presents to Him its requests, and receives from Him answers of peace. True prayer is a spiritual business from beginning to end (Charles Haddon Spurgeon).
Christian prayer is our conversation with God, in the name of Jesus, accompanied by the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus prayed regularly. He taught his disciples to pray. He expects his followers to come to God in prayer, to worship and praise God, to give thanks, to present personal requests and to pray for others. Praying to God on a daily basis helps guide our life through each day.
