Christian prayer

Christian prayer is a personal or communal act of communicating with God, expressing praise, gratitude, requests, or reflections. It often involves spoken words, silent contemplation, or meditation, and can be formal or informal. Prayer serves as a way to build a relationship with God, seek guidance, find comfort, and give thanks. Many Christians pray using set formulas like the Lord’s Prayer or through spontaneous conversation, trusting that God listens and answers according to His will. It is a central practice that nurtures faith, brings spiritual connection, and aligns believers with their relationship to the divine.
