One of the most amazing things that happened when Jesus went to the cross is that we were granted direct access to communicate with God through prayer. Even though we are free to talk with God anywhere, at any time and about anything, we still need to approach Him with reverence and an understanding of how and why we should pray. Once we understand how to approach God in prayer we can come before Him in great joy, knowing that He will always hear and answer us according to His perfect will.
