The
word "pray" as defined in
the dictionary means "to address
God with devout petition; to request something
fervently; to implore."
When
we pray we are certainly using these definitions but
from
God's
perspective, we are also doing so much more.
Christians are called to pray
(Psalms 116:2).
Prayer is as
necessary as the air
we breathe. Just as our bodies need the
oxygen that air
provides to
survive, our spirits need the power
that prayer provides
to flourish.
We
need to be in constant communion with the Lord in order
for our souls to be properly nourished.
"Oh, look upon us, we pray, for we are all Your people."
(Isaiah 64:9)
