I went on a literary excursion to Daegu. As I was eating a snack, making the sign of the cross, and praying, an author told me that the very first thing he asks when he prays is, "Who am I?" It was a truly surprising and shocking story. "Asking who I am?" It is both ingenious and an attitude I want to learn. *The ABCs of Prayer*, which I read on the bus that day, organizes the essence of prayer in A-step. It is, quite literally, a friendly guide that teaches everything from understanding to
"Pray." This is a phrase I heard countless times while attending church. To me, who only prayed when absolutely necessary, prayer was a special ritual. Perhaps because of this, I approached it with a certain level of determination and full preparation, though it is true that it sometimes felt burdensome. However, reading *The ABCs of Prayer* recently served as an opportunity to reflect on this kind of event-oriented prayer. The phrase that resonated most with me was that prayer is fellowship
It was wonderful to realize that I can pray in a way that involves deep conversation with God. Also, while reading various types of prayers, I received inspiration that purified my thoughts and heart. Since Bible verses were also included, I felt a happy time of meditation with Jesus.
