The #Bible emphasizes prayer as a conversation with #God, an opportunity to express gratitude, seek guidance, and offer intercession for others. While prayers of petition are valid, they should reflect a heart of humility and a desire for God's will to be done, not merely a self-centered focus on personal gain.
While personal needs and desires are valid prayer concerns, they should be balanced with a focus on God's glory, the needs of others, and a willingness to submit to His will.
