What is prayer?
What is prayer? Prayer is a two way communication between man and God. Prayer is a ministry and a privilege for the child of God. It is one of the ways of building our relationship with our Father. Prayer gives us the opportunity to ask from God for ourselves and to intercede for people and become a blessing in their lives. Prayer is speaking God’s word back to Him in faith and in agreement with Him and getting the results that the Bible promises. During prayer, we hear from God.
Prayer is not merely begging God for ‘handouts’. It is not crying to God and being pitiful before Him as a non-entity. The human nature is liable to the scenario whereby we think that by becoming pitiful we will get attention from God. God is not moved by tears.
He is moved by faith and His word. Always mix your faith with His word and you will get the right results. Luke 18.1: Men always ought to pray and not to faint.
