	Prayer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Prayer is an effort to communicate with God, or to some deity or deities, or another form of spiritual entity, or otherwise, either to offer praise, to make a request, or simply to express one's thoughts and emotions.
		Often, there are prayers to fit specific occasions, such as the blessing of a meal, the birth or death of a loved one, other significant events in the life of a believer, or days of the year that have special religious significance.
		This is the primary approach to prayer found in the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, most of the Church writings, and in rabbinic literature such as the Talmud.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: New Testament
		In St. Paul (1 Corinthians 11:25) Jesus Christ uses the words "new testament" as meaning the alliance established by Himself between God and the world, and this is called "new" as opposed to that of which Moses was the mediator.
		Later on, the name of testament was given to the collection of sacred texts containing the history and the doctrine of the two alliances; here again and for the same reason we meet the distinction between the Old and New Testaments.
		The New Testament, as usually received in the Christian Churches, is made up of twenty-seven different books attributed to eight different authors, six of whom are numbered among the Apostles (Matthew, John, Paul, James, Peter, Jude) and two among their immediate disciples (Mark, Luke).

	Theology Today - Vol 52, No. 2 - July 1995 - BOOK REVIEW - They Cried to the Lord: The Form and Theology of Biblical ...
		Prayer begins with a human cry "out of the depths"; the dialogue continues with God's response in an "oracle of salvation" (the announcement that God has heard the prayer and promises to be present and to help) and finally ascends to praise of God expressed in songs of thanksgiving.
		Miller traces affinities between biblical prayer and the prayers of Israel's neighbors in ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, and elsewhere, showing that the particularity of biblical prayer is rooted in the universality of human experience.
		Therefore, prayer can actually "persuade" God or even "change God's mind." The paradox of divine sovereignty and human freedom is treated profoundly in the discussion of intercessory prayers, which, in the Old Testament, are usually devoted to averting the wrath of God and, hence, removing impending punishment for sin.

	CHURCH FATHERS: On Prayer (Tertullian)
		As, e.g., it is the custom of some to make prayer with cloaks doffed, for so do the nations approach their idols; which practice, of course, were its observance becoming, the apostles, who teach concerning the garb of prayer.
		The more diligent in prayer are wont to subjoin in their prayers the "Hallelujah," and such kind of psalms, in the closes of which the company respond.
		Prayer is the wall of faith: her arms and missiles against the foe who keeps watch over us on all sides.

		STEP #2: From the total selection of verses, from all 3 methods, our definition of prayer is refined to exclude cases which were obviously not prayer, and to include other cases which are prayer in a broader sense of the word.
		METHOD #2: Additional references in the New testament, for the word pray are included from the Naves Topical Bible, but these do not necessarily contain any form of the word pray explicitly.

	Dummies::Having a Chat with God
		However, Christian prayer is more than just telling God your list of requests and expecting him to answer your prayers like he's some kind of cosmic vending machine.
		Christian prayer in the New Testament becomes more focused on the spiritual needs of individuals, such as the cleansing of sins, physical healing, and equipping of individuals with spiritual qualities to live like Christ.
		Prayer in the New Testament is also quite intimate and even goes so far as to tell you to call God your Daddy.

		Prayer is a socially meaningful symbolic act of communication, bearing directly upon persons perceived as somehow supporting, maintaining, and controlling the order of existence of the one praying, and performed with the purpose of getting results from or in the interaction of communication.
		Frederick Danker brought to the attention of New Testament interpreters the grand tradition of honoring benefactors, a form of patron-client relations characteristic of the eastern Mediterranean.
		Finally, prayers and psalms which became attached to certain festivals serve to confirm the roles and statuses of the pray-ers and the Deity addressed; they commemorate and thus bring a past event to present consciousness, thus renewing and strengthening the relationship of the clients with their Patron.

		But a New Testament temple is different than an Old Testament temple, "...the Most High doesn’t live in temples made by human hands..." Acts 7:48 (N.L.T.).
		The church building is not meant to be the primary house of prayer because it is made with human hands, it certainly is a place where people should pray, but our bodies are the dwelling place of God and therefore our bodies are meant to be the primary house of prayer.
		I was made for prayer, this body is my primary place of prayer.
