Prayer is an appeal of the things you need unto the Lord; it is a mode of communication by which you speak to God - dialogue between man and God; In prayer, we go straight to God the source only source of every good and perfect gift (⁠⁠James 1:17⁠⁠) Prayer is the power that propels you to your desired destination; it's the fuel that drives your life forth. If a person does not pray, then that person cannot receive; it is only when you ask that you receive (⁠Mathew 7:8⁠).
