In the Bible, prayer is often described as communication or conversation with God. It is a way for believers to express their thoughts, feelings, desires, and concerns to God, as well as to seek guidance, forgiveness, and strength.
Throughout the Bible, prayer is depicted as an essential aspect of faith and spiritual life, with numerous examples of individuals praying in various situations, like Daniel, Paul and Silas, such as giving thanks, asking for help, or interceding on behalf of others.
Jesus, in particular, provides teachings and examples of prayer, emphasizing sincerity, humility, and faith in one’s communication with God – Matthew 6:5-15.
