Prayer is how we communicate directly with Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit.  God wants to have a relationship with us. The Bible tells us to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17) and … in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God (Philippians 4:6).  Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered (Romans 8:26). Prayer is a daily need and is an important step in getting to know God and what He has in store for our lives.
