For the Christian, prayer should be like breathing. Yet, it is always the Holy Spirit who is the energizer of the Christian's prayer. To prayer is to be in union with the Holy Trinity, it is to come to the Father through the only-begotten Son in the power of the Holy Spirit. Thus, it is not for a part of one's life but for the whole of one's life. When one receives this gift of prayer that comes from God, the Kingdom of God is revealed in the heart. And this should lead to a compassionate heart, a heart that burns with love for God and all of His creation. Prayer is the living flame of love, the Divine fire of the Holy Trinity.Protodeacon Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16030718466163353016noreply@blogger.com
