I read where a family bought a PRAYER BOOK for their son. Each night the boy would read a prayer before going to sleep. He was faithful to read a prayer. One night the boy was tired. He turned the light off and crawled into bed. He remember the prayer book. That night he called out to God: Dear God, the prayer book is on the night stand over there, you can read the prayer yourself. Amen!
We have many songs about prayer. There are hundreds of books about prayer. Thousands of sermons about prayer. There are endless discussions about prayer. Perhaps one of the greatest assets of prayer is it is so simple anyone can pray--- Prayer is just talking to God. Communion with God --- to talk intimately of warm friendship, deep feeling. Prayer can be personal and private. As we communicate we can make known our needs.
