    What Is Prayer?

    Contributed by James Linders on Feb 2, 2016
     | 5,317 views

    Prayer is a conversation with God in His physical absence. We should ALWAYS TRUST God with our lives. The outcome of our prayer should NOT be based on our expectations and needs but on GOD'S will, immaterial of whether it is what we want.
