"So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God.  There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it."  (Hebrews 4: 16  NIV).

          Prayer is simply listening and talking with God.  Though Jesus gave us the perfect prayer, he also indicated that it was not the only prayer.  Jesus wants to have a relationship with you, and prayer is how you have a conversation with Jesus.
