What is prayer to you? When someone draws a picture of a person praying they tend to draw a person with their eyes closed bowing their heads and holding their hands in the normal prayer position and this is accurate but how many have you seen of a person just talking to Jesus casually or laughing with him or crying with him or even just drinking coffee with him as if they are the best of friends?
It's true that prayer is a petition and also a powerful weapon of faith but prayer is also much more than that. The people that I found that are the closest to God and have the most light shining from them are the ones who talk with him all the time about all kinds of things like they are best friends with him or like he is their personal diary. These are the people I have found that know and hear his voice the best as well.
The language of prayer is not simply a petition to God it is communion of the deepest essence. And just as their are many different languages there are also many different languages of prayer. Everyone has their own way of connecting to him and talking with him and have different ways of doing so. For me I often times go on a walk or when I am laying in bed sometimes I even can only talk with him in the shower or when I am writing. I like how David wrote his psalms for most of his prayers he was both a writer and musician at heart and used these attributes of his to pour his heart out to God.
Prayer sometimes is the only lifeline we have to find hope and peace in our day and sadly many do not know the life it can give to simply chat with God and it is a last resort instead of the first resort. The language of prayer is not always easy to learn and some are more adept to knowing and learning it than others but just as with everything else in life with practice you will become fluent in it and when you do you will find that prayer will flow out of you easier than how juice flows of of an orange when you make orange juice.
and when this becomes the norm for you then you will find how your days will become brighter even in the midst of darkness and you will have hope even when there is not a trace to be found and you will have life in you even when you are bedridden and I know that last part from experience. The human body needs a certain amount of vitamins vitimin A B and C but both our body and and our souls need a constant intake of vitamin P because you would be surprised the power prayer has
