Prayer is the spiritual dialogue that takes place between us and God. Our prayers are not just about listing our wants. Prayer is about building a relationship with God. How do we build stronger relationships with our spouses and friends? We do it through conversation and spending time together. We build our relationship with God through prayer. I often have people tell me they don't know what to say in their prayer time with God. If you fall into that category, remember that prayer is a conversation. Have a conversation with God like you would with your spouse or a close friend. If you still have trouble, recite the Lord's prayer. There are also prayers and meditations in books you can purchase. A good devotion guide can also be very helpful in having a conversation with God. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 says, "Pray without ceasing." To me, this scripture means that we are to live our life as a prayer. When we live by prayer. We live in God's grace and presence.
