I know, brothers and sisters, that I am on a soapbox this month about prayer. I am not aware of any other way to develop a relationship with God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit than to pray. Prayer will cleanse the mind and open the heart to what the Holy Spirit is trying to tell us. So, prayer should be between them and you. Matthew 6:5-8 says it better than I: “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 the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. Therefore, do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask him” (NKJV).
