I got this idea from Jim Downing in his book Meditation, where he suggests that various passages in the Psalms ( e.g., Ps. Before we can expect Him to listen to our requests we must have made contact with His soul by our soul. And this really must come first, before we ask God for anything. Now we are saying that prayer is not only petition, it is also something more basic-it is soul to soul communication with God. And we said that there are basically three types of petitions: (1) invocation, or asking God to be God to us and to help us commune with Him (2) asking God for the basic things we need and (3) intercession. So far we have said that prayer is petition. Prayer is soul to soul communication with God.
