PRAYER ISN'T JUST AN ACTION YOU DO. PRAYER IS A WAY YOU LIVE.

6 "Here's what I want you to do: Find a quiet, secluded place so you won't be tempted to role-play before God. Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage. The focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense his grace."
