Prayer is the practice of the presence of God. It is the place where pride is abandoned, hope is lifted, and supplication is made. Prayer is the place of admitting our need, of adopting humility, and claiming dependence upon God. Prayer is the needful practice of the Christian. Prayer is the exercise of faith and hope. Prayer is the privilege of touching the heart of the Father through His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. James 4:8

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:6-7

Father, in Your mercy, hear our prayers.

［古老英國祈禱文］有一首古老的英國禱告文這樣寫著：「要花時間工作，這是成功的代價。要花時間思考，這是力量的源頭。要花時間讀書，這是智慧的泉源。要花時間遊玩，這是青春的秘訣。要花時間善待朋友，這是幸福之道。要花時間愛人及被愛，它是神的特權。要花時間發笑，它是心靈的音樂。」
