Pray is to oppose God with humility. Prayer is not meant to impress or to use many empty words but to honestly communicate with God. So doing prayer is when we are in opposition to confess our sin, we give thanks to God for the things that we have done for us and also ask for protection.
Prayer should also include a willingness to accept and follow God. So prayer is something we should do with a good and every word coming out of our mouth so you should pray regularly forgive and avoid
with selfish motives so jesus taught his followers to pray and rather than seeking
praises from people.
Prayer is not it's therefore not just about asking God for them but it's about building that life, relationship, trust, and some to use with.
