Key Takeaways:
• Prayer is not only about asking for what we want but about growing and developing our relationship with God.
• God is everything that we need, even when he doesn't give us everything that we want.
• Our prayer requires faith because we don't know the outcomes, but it ushers us into the presence of the one who does.
