Why do you pray?

I woke up this morning and thought to share some stuffs with you guys.

I'm a Christian and I like to flaunt that fact. Knowing Jesus has been the best thing to happen to me.

Some people pray because they feel it is an obligation but there's more to prayer than being some arduous task needed to ensure that the one who holds our existence doesn't get mad at us.

I pray because I long to communicate with the one I love.
