Prayer

From The King James Bible
Prayer is the believer's communion with God—asking, thanking, confessing, and interceding—commended in every circumstance with confidence that God hears and answers.
Matthew 6:5
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
