I personally find that prayer allows me to have a personal relationship with God. It affords me comfort, guidance, forgiveness and someone to talk to.

I suppose prayer serves a different purpose for each person, but it may also be influenced by their religious upbringing and education.

Prayer is a conversation directly with God, being always with God, having one's soul united with Him and one's mind inseparable. A person becomes one with the angels and unites with them in perpetual praise and longing for God.
