What is Prayer?

pray_7464cnPrayer is like sunbathing – as you pray, you feel different, warm, but not aware of change going on in you. At the end, you have changed – in the case of sunbathing you have tanned, in the case of prayer, you have melted your heart a little in communion with God.

Prayer mattered to Jesus and it mattered to the early Church and so it should matter to us.  But life is busy and sometimes we don’t pray or are so busy with our own demands that we don’t allow God in.

But prayer is important, intimate and makes a difference so click one of these links to explore more on this subject:
