Prayer is an appeal of the things you need unto the Lord; it is 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).
