Prayer Reflection

Introduction

Prayer is talking to God with love. It does not need to be scripted, said on your knees, or in a particular location.

God understands all languages, dialects, accents, and yes, he can even understands slang.

This is a collection of my conversations with God or with myself. I wrote them when I was hurt, desperate, scared, frustrated, joyful, and thankful.
