People of Prayer What is Prayer? Prayer is a form of communication, a way of talking to God or to the saints. In Origins of the Word : The word "pray" comes from the Latin word //precari//, which simply means to entreat or ask. In fact, although //pray// is not often used this way anymore, it can simply mean “please,” as in “pray continue your story.”

Prayer for Christians is an expression of a living relationship and spiritual fellowship with God. It is not an obligatory requirement to please God. So it is not fardh [an obligatory act] that man has to complete. Prayer is a manifestation of a living relationship with God. It is an outcome of a love relationship with God.
