Prayer

Philippians 4:6 

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus (NIV)

"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 the Son of God, Jesus our Lord." http://carm.org/christianity/prayer-ministry/what-prayer

"Prayer is not a half-hearted ritual recitation of words; it is an outpouring of the heart."www.aish.com/sp/pr/48942086.htm

Sometimes i feel it and sometimes i dont but i always know that i can. And when i feel like i cant bring myself to pray and have that conversation with God because of shame,regret,condemnation,guilt, pain, sorrow etc, i feel my Fathers hand on my heart comforting me and letting me know that even though i cannot speak it, He still hears it.
