Prayer and You
All prayer begins with God.
Our prayers are merely a response to God’s call to us.
It is the fundamental way that we express our relationship with God.
So we shouldn’t pray because we think it works
or because we think we should.
We should pray because we can.
Whenever we respond to God’s love, we are in prayer.
