What is prayer??
The main misconception about prayer is that it is something that we do; when actually, it is Someone that we talk to. And just in any relationship, there are many ways to communicate with the other person. Here are several examples:
Adoration
This is just a big word that means telling someone how much you sincerely love them.
Confession
These are words and feeling, and sometimes even tears that we offer when we realize how our mistakes have damaged other people, our relationships (even that with God himself).
Meditation and Contemplation
Prayer isn't just talking, much of it is about listening. Any relationship will suffer if it is one-sided, and taking time to listen is incredibly important. Not only that, it will change us.
Thanksgiving
That one is pretty self-explanatory, but also an important of our relationships.
Petition or Supplication
Basically, this just means asking for a request.
Intercession
These are prayers that are offered for someone else.
