What is Prayer? Prayer is pouring out our heart to God. In this episode we go beyond the idea that prayer is simply talking to God, or conversation with God, though that can be true. If God already knows what we will ask (Matthew 6:7-8) why do we pray?  What we discover is that prayer is a gift from God that allows us to move beyond needing certain things, or results in life. Prayer connects us to God in a unique and even mysterious way. See also Psalm 62, and Luke 11:9-10.
