1.  WHAT IS PRAYER?
People view prayer in different ways.  For some it is a dial up connection to God.  When I need something from God I will call him up.  For some it is a scheduled chat session with God.  God will be online and available every Sunday morning, at meal times, and at bed time.  I like to think of prayer as my DSL connection with God, a 24/7 two-way connection.  And the only thing that hinders my prayers are the firewalls I set up.
