Requests and Prayers

Like the marathon runner who first began jogging simply to lose a few pounds, but soon discovered he had a passion for it, we first approach prayer as asking God for something we want. Hopefully though, we can move beyond always making requests and simply pray because He is worthy. What He wants is a relationship with you, a daily communication. Take a moment here and there throughout the day to simply "be" with the Lord, without asking for things. After all, if we have Him, what else exactly do we think we need?
