Is prayer a work or a relationship?

The experience of hard work of Adam outside the Eden is not prayer, but the stroll with God at breezy hours inside the Eden is.

Prayer is not the experience of efforts but conversation. The blessings of the New Testament do not come through our endeavors, but through the right that we are His children.

Prayer is not something that shakes God, but exalts. Not something that compels Him, but it is the experience of being together with Him.

When the Lord taught us the prayer, “this is how you should pray,” he did not show us the example of Gethsemane. Instead, He taught us a simple prayer that begins showing our relationship with God, “Our Father in Heaven.”

Prayer is not the experience of wrestling with Satan, but reminding him that his head had been already crushed by the Son of God on the Cross of Calvary.

A branch which is adhered to the vine need not work hardly to obtain its essence. It is the partaker of the root and essence of the vine.

Victory does not come through prayer. Prayer is our right that we got through the victory of Christ. Or else what right do we have in the House of God as Gentiles?

If you think of prayer as an effort, it will be agonizing to pray for minutes. Think it of as your relationship with God, it will be pleasant even if you pray relentlessly for hours.
