Prayer is an essential part of the Christian lifestyle. The Bible makes it very clear that communication with God is how we build a true and real relationship with him versus living in religion alone. Also, we pray because there are many things to worry about in this life, and when we pray we are not only talking over our worries with the Creator, but we can give him those anxieties and learn to trust him to give us peace and rest. Prayer must be practiced just as one practices meditation in order to experience the true benefits of the results. The following are some resources that compile prayers for every aspect of life and can be used as a guide to create your own prayers as you develop a personal relationship with God.
