True Prayer Is Intimate
Praying is merely talking to God like you would talk to your best friend. Tell Him everything you are thinking or feeling, though He already knows. You can't hide anything from Him. He loves to hear you praise Him for all the good things He has done in your life.
Matthew 21:22 And all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
Prayer is the divinely appointed way to know God personally and intimately. We are as intimate with God as we choose to be.
Prayer is an act by which we enter the presence of the God who spake the worlds into being, the God who has lived and will live forever, the God who loves us and who died for us on the cross, and the God who continually meets our needs.
Prayer doesn't change God, it changes us.
If you pray for rain, carry your unbrella.
