When most people pray, they include supplications and humble petitions to God. Petitions might include comfort, counsel, protection, guidance, justice, love, healing, redemption, and especially refuge just to name a few. There is nothing more comforting to be in the arms of our God during times of crisis. Our God is all of these and more.
