What is prayer? Prayer is crying out to God. There will be certain conditions of life where prayer is inevitable. We must remember in Mark 10:47 where blind Bartemaeus cried out to God "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me". When conditions of life places us in a position where there is no other options this is when we cry out in prayer. As we move deeper in prayer, you will discover that the Holy Spirit begins to pray for us. For it is He that helps us in our weakness.
