The document discusses prayer and provides biblical references about why prayer is important and how to improve one's prayer life. It notes that people may struggle with prayer because they don't know how, don't believe it will make a difference, or are too busy. However, the Bible teaches that prayer should be continual and that God answers prayer according to His will. The document offers suggestions for learning to pray better such as listening to others pray, scheduling time for prayer, and using the "ACTS" framework of Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication.
