THE BIBLE AND PRAYER — A NEW DEVOTION (PART 1) Christianity is more than just a religion. It is first and foremost a relationship with God. The foundation of any healthy relationship is communication. The better the communication, the better the relationship will be. God talks to us in many ways but He primarily talks to us through His Word, the Bible. We talk to Him through prayer. We learn to listen to the sound of God’s voice in our lives when we read His Word. He listens to us when we pray. We respond to His Word with action. He responds to our prayers with action. (Acts 2:42) The Bible More than just a random collection of stories, poems, and letters, the Bible is the inspired, written Word of God. We must follow the example of Job who valued God’s Word more than food. (Job 23:12) Before turning to Christ, we lived by the world’s standards. Now, we accept the Bible as the final authority for what we believe and how we live. God’s Word is the ultimate and absolute standard for every area of life.
