First of all, the concept of prayer is not only special and peculiar to the Christian faith, but it seems that all of the religions of the world in one way or the other esteem prayer as very important. Deep within the spirit of every human being is the desire to communicate with the spirit world. Man has always believed that there is some unseen power within the universe, whether it be God or what is brought forth in one‘s beliefs.

There are many ways to pray and we will go over them all as God would like us to continue on our spiritual venture of prayer for these hard times that we are in.
