Prayer is communication to God. It is the quintessence of a love relationship. It is the antithesis of self-display. It is not something to be done when a crisis occurs, but it is to be a lifestyle. Prayer is the key, and the door is the one who died for us all. (Verb) To pray is to change. To pray is to fall in love. To pray is to allow one's self to be naive.
Person- "Everything in the world tells me you aren't real... How can I believe in you and why should I even engage in prayer to talk to you at all if I'm not sure if you exist?!?! Why don't you just rid the world of all its murder and rape and war and death and cancer and suffering!!!"
God- "I will."
