Prayer

I just got back from a teen youth retreat where the subject was prayer. Past retreats have been spent on the theological side of prayer, but this one was spent actually praying. In the first session, we focused mainly on the character or attributes of God. We spent the better part of an hour praising God. The second session was spent in private prayer as opposed to prayer in groups. We spent the third session in groups petitioning God for our need as well as thanking Him for what we have recieved. I felt it was all very beneficial.
