Prayer is simply being in a conversation with Godtalking and listeningso you can build a relationship with him and get to know his ways.

Whether prayer seems simple, confusing, or difficult, the Bible has a lot to say about it. The most important thing to know about prayer is that there is no magic formula. You dont have to pray for a certain number of minutes for God to hear you. You dont have to be poetic, loud, or long-winded. You dont even have to be confident or clear. Simply speak from your heart, and be honest, just as you talk with a human friend.
