Isaiah 43:18-19
Recap: Baptized/Immersed
2 Corinthians 5:15-17 (ESV) 15 and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.?16 From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh.

Man was created to be in intimate fellowship with God until sin entered into the world...Prayer is described as ''mans search for God'' but I would submit that it is also God's desire to fellowship with Man.
Interesting that even those who don't follow God still have something inside them that compels them to pray....to an idol, to a moon, to a rock or whatever!
Luke 11:1-2 It happened that while Jesus was pra ...
