Please explain the part prayer plays in your life?

The truth is that my relationship through prayer has not allways been what it should. Several years ago I decided to change that. I studied prayer and made a commitment, to myself, to pray each morning and evening. In a very short time I noticed that during these few prayerful moments I felt a true peace and stillness within. Over time I began to depend on that sensation as some days it was the only peace I would feel during a hectic day. I also found myself thinking about talking to my Heavenly Father. This led to a greater effort to behave so that I could feel deserving of these feelings. The decision and commitment to pray has now become a desire. I know Father is there, even if some days I feel more connected than others. My prayers are answered, often in ways much different than requested or expected. What used to be a happen stance and sporadic event has become as much a part of my life and going to sleep and waking up. I urge you to give it a try. Make prayer a part of your life.
