Invitation to Prayer
We all have ideas about what prayer should look like, but what we know about prayer and what we practice as prayer in our lives can be two different things. Many times prayer has just become a laundry list of things we want from God. Jesus gave us an example in the Lord’s Prayer; we will look at what it means to pray as he did and how we can follow his example in our own lives. True prayer is having a conversation with God about what is going on in our daily lives, especially when it comes to our relationship with others. True prayer is an intimate relationship that requires more silence and waiting than speaking.
To Ponder...
"…The root of all prayer, and indeed all life itself, is desire for God....and whether we recognize it or not, this desire for God is the starting point of all prayer."
