Friday Night Joy with Rev. Ray: What is Prayer 1. **Philippians 4:6-7**: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." 2. **Matthew 6:6**: "But when you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." 3. **1 Thessalonians 5:16-18**: "Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." 4. **James 5:16**: "Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective."
