Praying is talking to God and it is something we can do at any time or in the midst of any situation. God is attentive to the cry of his children and we can go before his presence with all confidence whenever we need it.
The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears, attentive to your prayers.
(Psalm 34:15)
