The Importance of Prayer

The point of prayer is to be in the presence of God, not get what you want. The Bible says before you ask God for anything, He already knows what you need. When I lift up my request, I'm just really lifting up my burden. It's saying I'm not equipped to handle this pressure. And when God gives you a no, it's like what I tell my kids: 'If you can't accept a yes, then don't pray'
