Prayer is a time we can draw near to God. A time we can spend talking with and concentrating all of our thoughts upon God.  In these moments of quietness, where the only presence other than ours is God’s, we learn how to hear and respond to his will.

A company of praying people is a company of people equally dependent on God. But we also come to prayer with equally good help. The most eloquent spiritual giant and the most timid new believer can pray boldly together because Jesus prays for them both.
