Prayer
Eerdman’s Bible Dictionary...any form of communication with God on the part of believing people.
Fr. J Hardon’s Catholic Bible Dictionary… a peaceful internal repose by which the soul is captivated by the divine presence. It is the result of contemplative love and is a fruit of the gift of wisdom. At first, prayer is short; under the influence of grace, it becomes longer and may eventually become habitual.
How’s your prayer?
Know you are prayed for.
