Prayer

Prayer PRAYER “Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep. See me safely through the night and wake me with the morning light. Amen.” That was the first prayer I ever learned to recite. I can remember as a child reciting it on my knees by my bed before I was allowed to go to sleep. As I grew older I began to question prayer as I still do. What is prayer' Does God really listen to my prayers' And what does prayer mean to me. I’m still not sure I know the answers to any these questions, but I think I have a better understanding of what prayer is for me and what it means to me. To me prayer is talking to God one on one, about anything that should happen to be on my heart at the time. In my opinion prayer is a vital necessity in building a relationship with Christ. Okay so now that I’ve gotten the standard ideas of prayer out of the way, I think God does listen to our prayers, but I don’t think he takes all of them seriously. Okay that’s a bold statement to god, prayer, pray, just, i’m, think, prayers, don’t, heart, really, praying, one, about, something, know, always, way, voice, sure, sometimes, isn’t, feel, eyes, time, talk, heaven, hear, going, father, being, before, because, words, tv, tell
