What is Prayer?

If you’re a Christian, you’ve probably heard a lot about prayer! Even those who wouldn’t call themselves religious offer their “thoughts and prayers” in response to crises in the world and in the lives of those they know and love.

Jesus himself suggests that prayer is a powerful tool which can be used to experience the blessing, provision, and favour of God. But if we’re honest, that hasn’t often been our experience. For many or us, our experience with prayer has been frustrating, tentative, and anemic.
