What is prayer?

When we pray, we are communicating with God. Sometimes we pray for things that we need, like guidance or strength. Other times, we might pray for people or animals who are sick or in danger. Prayer can be a way to connect with God on a personal level, or it can be a way to share our thoughts and feelings with others.
