Yet, if we're honest with ourselves, it's all too easy for prayer to get pushed aside amidst the busyness of our lives. We get caught up in the demands of work, family responsibilities, and countless other tasks even church activities and before we know it, the day has slipped by without us taking the time to connect with our Heavenly Father.

But friends, prayer is not just a nice-to-have kind of thing - it's a vital part of our relationship with God. When we pray, we acknowledge our complete dependence on Him. We cast our cares and burdens at His feet, and we open our hearts to receive His wisdom, strength, and peace.
