What Is Prayer?

Prayer is not self-expression but transformation. A way of being reshaped into the likeness of Jesus. Unlike mindfulness, which turns us inward, prayer lifts us upward to God and outward in love. We come with praise, confession and petition. We rely on the Son’s name, trust the Spirit’s groans and receive the Father’s presence. Prayer is communion. It’s dwelling with God until our hearts echo his.

Not flashy, not loud. Just steady. Just holy. Just enough.
