what is a prayer?

Prayer is the only way to reach our Almighty Father in heaven. you can not interact with Him on your physical aspect because He is a Spirit. Spirit-to-spirit is the only way to have a conversation with Him. You have your spirit and with the power of prayer through our Lord Jesus Christ, you can reach heaven.

Praying is the act of communicating with the Lord. Communication is a continuous process wherein there is an encoder and decoder. The one passes the message while the other one interprets it and gives its feedback. Same as in the process of prayer. you send your message to our Lord then He answers back. To hear His answer, we should be sensitive enough to know His voice. And that requires a deep relationship with Him.

Isn’t it easy to determine the voice of your mother?

Well, it’s simply because you grew-up with her. Day-by-day, you hear her voice. You know what will make her laugh at the top of her voice and you also know what will make her cry badly. It is all because of your deep relationship with her. Since you know her insights, you already know what will be her answer or decision whenever you would ask something from her.

Same with our Lord, through Bible reading and hearing His words, you will know Him more and more. You will be able to determine His will in your life and you will be sensitive enough to hear even His softest voice.
