1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Prayer is the lifting up of our hearts to God. It is an avenue through which man commune with God. 
Prayer should be consistent. Prayer is not an extra option nor is it a last resort when all other methods have failed. When man works, man works. But when man prays, God works.
Prayer should be an attitude or lifestyle not an act. Let it become something you can not do without.
What ever be your challenges or life situations, take it to God in prayer.
