This document provides guidance on the topic of prayer. It discusses that prayer is communicating with God through Jesus Christ with humble confidence. It recommends that prayer should have four parts: adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and supplication. It also provides guidance on where to pray (everywhere, in private, in church), when to pray (always, in the morning, daily), and subjects to pray about (the Lord's Prayer, for the sick, for leaders, for wisdom, for food and safety). The document encourages private, family, and public prayer and closing wishes everyone a merry Christmas.
