A Two-Way Conversation

A TWO-WAY CONVERSATION
Prayer is a two-way conversation
I pray to God
I confess my sins
I ask for forgiveness
Then I listen
for the voice of God
and God will speak to me
He will lead me forward into life
He will be my guide
He will indicate the correct path to take
The main part of prayer
is silence
listening
waiting
for a word from God
God communicates to us
through prayer
for prayer is a two-way conversation
