Prayer

In plain words

Talking with God: asking, thanking, complaining or simply being quiet with God.

The fuller definition

Talking with God: asking, thanking, complaining, listening, or simply being quiet before God. Christians pray because God invites it and promises to hear. The Lord’s Prayer is the pattern Jesus gave, and the Psalms are the Bible’s own prayer book.

Where it comes from
