The Bible speaks a great deal about prayer. Prayer is the channel through which divine grace may flow from God to man. The disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray: And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. (Luke 11: 1); The Bible also says: Pray without ceasing. (I Thessalonians 5:17); The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. (James 5:16B); We are also told to pray for one another: Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another...(James 5:16A)
