Our Heavenly Father-the Lord God Almighty-livingly compels us to come to Him with our praises, our thanksgiving, and our requests. He invites us to commune intimately with Him. Prayer is also a privilege. Because of God's love expressed in the cross of Jesus Christ, we are invited into God's presence as His very own children. "We need to pray more; and we need to spend more time preparing our hearts and our tongues for prayer."(John MacArthur)
