Each of us has our own way of talking with God through prayer. In our harried, hectic 21st century life, we may find peace through prayer between periods at the soccer field, between phone calls at work, or while we're preparing breakfast. For 10,000 Disciples Praying, Jesus is recorded in Matthew as saying to His disciples:

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."

(Matthew 7:7, NIV)
