SECTION ONE PRAYER IN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE
2561
“You would have asked him, and he would have given you living
water.”9
Paradoxically our prayer of petition is a response to the plea of the living
God:
“They have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewn out
cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no
water!”10
Prayer is the response of faith to the free promise of salvation and also a
response of love to the thirst of the only Son of God.11
