Prayer isn't always nice and neat and tidy. Prayer isn't pretty. I'm not talking about saying prayers, like reading from a book. I am talking about heartfelt, honest expression from a human to Almighty God Himself.

Beyond the kind of prayer that is a list of requests, lies prayer that is communication between two hearts. The heart of man and the heart of God. Within this definition of prayer lies a whole continuum of expression.

When we look at the life of Jesus we can see His heartfelt expressions of prayer are not composed and dispassionate. Look at Hebrews 5:7, "During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission."
