"Prayer is God’s means for people to acknowledge their dependence on him for all things. So when we praise him, when we confess to him, when we believe him for a brother’s need, we put ourselves where God designed for us to be: dependent on his provision. A rich prayer life is one that regularly and unreservedly cries out "Abba, Father."
I've been doing a lot of reading on prayer and am sure I'm not done yet. I like this definition. What do you think?
Where all my spare thoughts and random reflections find their place in this world. It's like holding on to spare car parts. One day you just might find them useful.
