I miss MC hammer; but in honor of his classic I thought I’d give you a few simple reminders. If communication is the most important part of a healthy relationship, then prayer is the most important aspect of our relationship with God.  It is the ongoing communication of us talking to God and Him talking to us.  In John 15:7 Jesus said, “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.”  Holding to Jesus teaching are essential and they open the way for us to pray to the father.  Asking or petition prayers are not the only kinds of prayers we should pray.  Sometimes it’s important just to spend time thanking God.  During thanksgiving we recall of the blessing that God has brought in our lives.  Often when I’ve spent time in thanksgiving, I’m left with the sense that I really don’t need to ask for anything since I’ve been so blessed.  There are also times where we confess our sin and short comings to God.  God already knows our hearts before we pray (Matt 6:8); however being transparent before the Father allows us to stay into intimate contact with him.  Finally there are times were we are simple to praise and adore him for who He is.  When we magnify his Greatness and Goodness,  the fears and anxieties of life will fade away.
