Prayer is an invitation to a quiet moment with God. Just you and Him together in private sharing about life. It is your moment to connect with God. Like a good friend, you can share what is heavy on your heart or the joy you’ve felt in life. It is a moment to draw closer to God so He can be closer to you. Prayer is the way to build God into your life, to consult with Him and listen to His word to guide you. Prayer opens your life to allowing God to mentor you, to hold you, to lead you. Prayer rewards you in ways you do not expect from God.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. – Philippians 4:6, NIV
