Why do you think God wants us to live lives that are connected to Him through prayer?
-
It is such an amazing thought to know that the creator and sustainer of all wants us to talk to him personally. And I think that is why he wants us to connect to Him through prayer. It keeps us in Him, with Him, grounded and secure.
-
Because through prayer we can give Him all our worries, doubts, fears, needs, and problems in life as we rely on Him with childlike dependence. In our prayers we can listen to Him as a child listens to his/her Father. In our prayers God can lead us and guide us through life. Through our prayers He can give the peace, content, and joy that is unspeaking and that can only come from Him.
-
Prayer is our phone line to God, how we are to communicate with Him. We need God’s guidance in all things; we are nothing, can do nothing, without our connection to Him, and that is our prayer life. Jesus is our example, and if He felt the necessity to be dependent on the Father, we have even a greater need.
-
At the heart of prayer is an act of worship to the Lord. Prayer is an important part of the Christian life, and it is also a way to communicate with the Lord and grow in our relationship with Him. Through this relationship, God will bless us and change us to be like Jesus – deny ourselves, take up our crosses, and follow Him (Luke 9:23).
-
So that we can grow closer to him and not rely on our own abilities. This will provide us with the utmost peace and joy that we can find, and will fulfill our purpose as human beings.
