What is prayer?

• A. A list of rules for living
• B. A group meeting
• C. Talking and listening to God, growing closer to Him
• D. A habit of doing good deeds

Answer: (C)

Prayer is talking and listening to God, growing closer to Him. It’s a personal conversation that invites God into daily life—sharing thanks, asking for help, confessing worries, and listening for guidance. Unlike a list of rules, which tells you what to do, or a group meeting, which is about gathering with others, or a habit of doing good deeds, prayer centers on relationship with God and drawing nearer to Him. You can pray anywhere, at any time, in words or in quiet reflection, with the aim of deepening trust and friendship with God.
