Why is prayer important? And what is it?

Because the reason we pray is because we believe in something higher than ourselves. We know there's something or someone else out there and we need them and/or what they have to offer.

Prayer is a conversation with this higher being.
You can't pray and expect not to have a response back.
Then it isn't praying.
It's begging.. it's making yourself seem better.. it's blasphemous.

So then what is prayer?
It's talking to the God in heaven about things here on earth.
Even though he sees all and hears all and knows all.. He still wants us to acknowledge out loud that we can't handle all of these things on our own. There's just too much, and we're not meant to handle it alone.
We're meant to walk with Him.

How does He respond?
Some people hear Him like a still small voice (this is the Spirit of God).
Sometimes he speaks through other people.. this is a sign that He knows your surroundings and He knows who you'll be in contact with and He knows what you need to hear and what you need constantly.
Sometimes he speaks through words on paper or in music.. this is a sign that He knows you're listening and searching. He knows that you're looking looking for something tangible to show you.

There are many more ways He speaks, but you have to find out more for yourself..
Listen.
