April 10th's Question of Faith-What Good Is Prayer?

What Good Is Prayer?

Prayer, for me, is simply being in communication with God. Does bowing my head and folding my hands help me focus? Sometimes, but it is not required. Prayer is when I speak directly to God, silently or out loud' prayer is when someone comes to mind and I mentally place them in God's presence; prayer is being still and listening for affirmation, peace, nudges and grace.
Prayer is when I know I have messed up and need to say so. Prayer is asking when I don't understand. Prayer is thanking God for all the blessings.

Being in prayer draws me closer to God and to the person God wants me to be. Prayer centers, helps me focus, gives me courage, and reminds me that God and I are in this together.

What do you think?
