What is prayer? How would you define what prayer is? Talking to God? A conversation with God?  What is NOT prayer? A vending machine? An obligation or wish list? Talking to ourselves with our eyes closed?  When we pray, we can have access to the heart and knowledge of God. It is about knowing God and getting in the stream where God can do crazy things. It's up to us to listen and then speak.  The better we can hear God, the better we can articulate when we pray.  In this 4-part series on prayer, Jeff Eckart is speaking to a select group of 30 high school students from around the country that are a part of the Claim Your Campus National Student Council Forum.  In this episode, Jeff gives us a better understanding of how prayer works.  Part 1 of 4.  Recorded on March 3, 2017.
