Are You Praying Right?

Prayer is the only channel of communication between man and God. Only through prayer can our communion with the Lord Jesus Christ be maintained.
When we make a sincere and honest prayer, we open our hearts to the Lord; this is a prayer “in spirit and in truth”, as the Bible refers to it. When we pray this way, we have a better understanding of what our deepest needs are and how much we depend on God. In addition, we develop greater spiritual strength, which guarantees our victory over temptation.
Since prayer is an expression of our soul to the Creator, it need not be refined and sophisticated, or marked by long and difficult words. God knows every detail of who we are and what we are asking - so prayer should be simple and objective, and made in a very humble way.
