Prayer is a fundamental. It's basic in the faith. Its of utmost importance. In prayer, we get our direction in life. In prayer, we communicate with the LORD. In prayer, we discover what God is wanting to do. But my favorite, in prayer is where we experience the presence of God. I don't desire to live life apart from His presence really.

To me, Im going to keep things simple!
