When we grow in a relationship with others, we ask
questions, we listen and we share our stories. Prayer is conversation with God.
Prayer is how we attend to God's presence in our lives. A regular practice of
prayer means that we are invested in an ongoing relationship with God. With
God, we can be nothing but ourselves, there is no pretense, no hiding from God.
Both our deepest desires to love and our tendency toward sin are exposed to
God. In fact, sometimes prayer helps us to learn what God already knows. We
experience God's love and forgiveness through times of prayer and devotion.
Both corporate and individual prayer helps us to grow in
faith. Jesus taught his disciples to go to a solitary place to pray. We can set
an intention for our time in prayer in a variety of ways: to rest in God's
love, to intercede for the needs of others, to ask forgiveness and to seek
guidance. Prayer strengthens our faith by the power of the Holy Spirit. May you
be richly blessed in your relationship with Christ as you grow in prayer.
