Christian Devotional – November 6, 2025

Life and Love, Day 22

The practice of Prayer. Read 1 John 5:13-15.

The practice of prayer is one of the most defining characteristics of the Christian life. Prayer is communication with God. Prayer is God communicating to us through His word and us responding back to Him on the same subject. Many people pray, but not everyone uses prayer appropriately. Prayer is not just a wish list that we provide to God. Prayer is about a relationship and is a conversation that we have with God where he speaks to us through his word and we speak back to him.

Because of this relationship, we can have tremendous confidence when we come before the Lord in prayer. We know that if he is speaking to us on the subject, we can communicate back to him and he wants to have that conversation. He wants to show us new and exciting truths, and he wants to help us understand his will and his purpose in our lives.

If we are paying attention and listening, God’s will is evident. We never have to wonder if God hears us. We can approach him with confidence, bringing our conversation and our whole selves to him. This includes our requests and our needs. Are we coming to God in confidence, knowing that he hears us?
