Prayer is aligning ourselves with the purposes of God.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Prayer is our invitation to God to intervene in the affairs of earth. It is our request for Him to work His ways in this world.
For hundreds of millions of Americans who believe in God, prayer is our bridge between Earth and Heaven, our way of opening our hearts to the Lord. Through this intimate relationship we find peace and guidance.
By my definition, prayer is consciously hanging out with God. Being with God in a deliberate way.
Prayer is where the action is.
Prayer is commitment. We don't merely co-operate with God with certain things held back within. We, the total person, co-operate. This means that co-operation equals committment.
I think of prayer as a spiritual lifeline back to where I most want to be.
Prayer is not so much the means whereby God's will is bent to man's desires, as it is that whereby man's will is bent to God's desires.
Prayer is so complicated.
Continuing a Lenten series on prayer: Prayer is co-operation with God. It is the purest exercise of the faculties God has given us - an exercise that links these faculties with the Maker to work out the intentions He had in mind in their creation.
Prayer is simply talking to God like a friend and should be the easiest thing we do each day.
