By Pastor Don Gettys Prayer is neither wishful thinking nor pious prattling. Prayer is the opening of the heart to God, as to a friend. Prayer is like quietly opening a door and slipping into the very presence of God. There in the stillness, we can listen to his voice, and perhaps petition or just admire our Creator. Just to be there in His presence is prayer.
Some people pray over lottery tickets, some pray about great problems.
Some pray about their date. Some pray about school. Some pray at night, because they feel the rates are cheaper. Some pray and then worry. Prayer is pulling the switch that operates the powerhouse of heaven and having all that energy come on line for our disposal.
