Prayer is a conversation with God. It’s about sharing your thoughts and your feelings with the One who gave you the ability to think and feel. Prayer is an ongoing exercise, not just a good thing to do in a crisis situation. God wants us to communicate with Him—it’s the reason why he created us. By starting your day with prayer it will improve the likelihood that you will continue to keep in close contact with the Lord all day long.
