Prayer is Gods way of communicating with him.

• The request Lord, teach us to pray was answered
  in this way. "Pray in this way
•    Father, help us to honour your name.
•    Come and set up your kingdom.
•    Give us each day the food we need. Forgive
  our sins,
•    as we forgive everyone who has done wrong to
  us.
•    And keep us from being tempted.' " (CEV)
