Stated most simply, prayer is having a conversation with God. It is more than something to do at church or before a meal. And our prayers should be about more than things we need or problems we face. Prayer is best thought of as a dialog of talking and listening. On the eve of his "I Have a Dream" speech, Martin Luther King Jr. told his staff he was going to talk to the Lord about what to say. That is a great perspective. Judah Smith shares this view and describes some great conversations that he has had with God.

Talking to God honestly and holding nothing back can be very freeing. There are times when a quiet reverence is appropriate. But at other times, the best thing is to talk with and listen to God in the same way you would confide in a friend. As you read the Psalms, you will see the passion of the writer’s heart in full display. You too can be this open and honest with God.

Psalms 34:17

When the righteous cry for help, the LORD hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.

Psalms 85:8

Let me hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints; but let them not turn back to folly.

Psalms 13:1-6

How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me? Consider and answer me, O LORD my God; light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death, lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,” lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken. But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation. I will sing to the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me.
