πŸ™ What is Prayer?
The Westminster Shorter Catechism from 1647 defines prayer as "an offering up of our desires unto God, for things agreeable to his will, in the name of Christ, with confession of our sins, and thankful acknowledgment of his mercies.” Louie Giglio beautifully describes prayer as a steady state of awareness that shifts earthly perspectives, plans, and purposes as heaven becomes visible on earth. Simply put, prayer is communication and communion with Almighty, Triune God.
