What is prayer? Does Almighty God really want us to pray to Him? Jesus Christ addressed the subject of prayer in what we often call the sermon on the Mount. “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who is in secret will reward you openly (Matthew 6:5-6). Let’s take a fresh look at the very important subject of prayer.
