Do you pray every day? I mean like, every chance you get? Do you pray as much as you talk to your friends? I've got that problem. I don't pray near as much as I should. I have the problem of looking at prayer more as a chore, than a chance to talk to my true friend, Jesus Christ.

As it says in the picture above, 'Prayer is the breath, the watchword, the comfort, the strength, the honor of a Christian'. In other words, it's our life! Prayer is our communication to the Lord. Our ability to be able to come to our Father to talk with Him and share our thoughts and desires.

You cannot expect to have a relationship with a family member, friends, your girlfriend or your wife if you don't spend time talking with them. Everyone knows this. So then we have to ask ourselves, how in the world can we expect to be close to Christ when we don't talk to Him like we should?

We have such an amazing privilege to be able to talk, personally, with our dear Lord. He has invited us to come before Him, as a child of God and talk to Him. He knows our strengths and our weaknesses. There's nothing that he doesn't know about us. And that should be such a comfort to us.
