As Christians, we learn that having a prayer life is essential to our walk with Christ. The bible speaks often of many individuals that prayed, how they prayed and what they prayed for.The bible makes it clear in the words spoken by Jesus himself when the disciples asked him how they were to pray. His response was a model prayer found in Matthew.But even more than that 1 Thessalonians 5:17 tells us to "Pray without ceasing." This signifies that prayer is important.
