WHY SHOULD I PRAY?



The Lord Instructed Us to Pray.




And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; Luke 18:1 (KJV)

I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 1Timothy 2:8 (KJV)

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Matthew 26:41 (KJV)

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; Ephesians 6:18 (KJV)

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: Matthew 7:7 (KJV)




Prayer Develops Our Relationship with God.



If we never speak to our spouse or never listen to anything they have to say to us, our marriage would be in trouble. It's the same way with God. Communicating with God through prayer, helps us grow closer to God and have a more intimate connection with Him. If we never talk to God, we lose our conncetion and intimacy with Him and our relationship would be in trouble.
