4) Why pray? Prayer is "heart speaking to heart," the gaze of our soul upon God. Just as we can lose ourselves for a moment with a friend in laughter, tears, or just mundane conversation, we should strive to lose ourselves during prayer in the love of our Father and Creator. Prayer is the secret to a unified life...both now and in eternity
