We don't just pray.
We pray for personal need.
We pray to affirm the dignity of personal need.
We pray to clarify our needs.
We pray to have the prayer answered.

We're constantly praying.
And the language of David, Solomon's father is, I am prayer.
Is that I'm praying?
I am prayer, right?
And I'm in constant contact with the infinite intimate.
I'm always turning to God.
We're in a constant conversation.
We're walking together.
