How often do you pray?

Prayer isn't just about expressing our desires or grievances to God. It's about establishing a profound connection with him. While many see prayer as a one-sided conversation where we talk to God, it's actually a two-way street.

True prayer involves not only speaking to God but also listening to his response. God already knows what we're dealing with even before we utter a word. Thus, prayer isn't about informing him, but it is about deepening our relationship with him. It's crucial to understand that while we can reach out to God at any moment, it's equally, if not more important to open ourselves to his messages and guidance as we continue to grow spiritually in our journey of faith.

[b]Prayer [/b]
A recited incantation designed to force or cajole a deity or deities into changing the normal, existing, or probable course of events in the universe, obtain an advantage, or avoid a divine penalty. Also an expression of gratitude or adulation, or an affirmation of continual fear, made to a deity.

A prayer is often accompanied by a promise or a sacrifice (the firstborn, money, giving up a favorite vice, not lying, a select bit of food the priests can eat) to seal or satisfy the agreement. A spell.
