What is prayer? Prayer is talking with God—listening to His voice and sharing from our own hearts. We can pray to God for ourselves (petition) or for others (intercession). We can talk with God about our sin through confession. We can talk with God like Jesus does, ministering to broken things to make them whole. All done and facilitated by Holy Spirit. With so many ways to pray, why wait? Let us pray.
Prayer is mysterious. Jesus demystifies it by encouraging us simply to start praying. If we need something? Ask God for it. If we have a cry for justice, then shout it out. The newest part of this teaching by Jesus seems to be the shock that someone wouldn’t pray for their needs or the needs of others. What’s the difference? Jesus knows God as Father, a loving parent. Of course there’s room to bring all of our needs before that kind of God.
