16 Rejoice always and delight
in your faith; 17 be
unceasing and persistent in prayer; 18 in every situation [no
matter what the circumstances] be thankful and continually
give thanks to God; for this is the will of God for you in Christ
Jesus. --1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

This is our second Blog on "Why Do We Pray". Why do we pray?
A question of great magnitude!
Prayer is having a conversation with God, an intimate sanctified
(set-apart) time. It is the very breath
of our soul the core of our being.
Prayer is the key (Matt. 16:19) that unlocks the incredible
promises of God. There are times we pray like we speak to a friend. Other times we pray intensely, passionately
and it is the prayer of an intercessor. We pray in the name of Jesus who
connects us to His promises. John 16:24,
“Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive,
that your joy may be full”. In and
through prayer the promises of God are manifested (revealed) in and through
us. We are privileged to begin each day
with prayer giving our hearts to God.
When temptation threatens, and it will, we have the power source and
communion with God the Father through the blood and name of Jesus Christ. He knows our voice.
I cannot remember when I did not pray…not aloud…not
in public….but in child-like simplicity.
I began to pray that Jesus would teach me to pray
just as His disciple asked (Luke 11:1).
As the years have passed, I grew in a close intimate relationship with
the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Through the Holy Spirit I have been taught much (I John 2:27). First and foremost, we pray for the
undefeatable benevolence and unconquerable goodwill that always seeks the
highest good for mankind and ourselves.
“Biblical
prayer is always accompanied by radical obedience. God’s response to prayer with obedience
always releases the nature of heaven into our impaired circumstances”.[1]
Why do we pray?
We learn to pray God’s Will. We
pray for Spiritual Development
and growth in intimacy with God the Father.
As we grow in our Spiritual Development, our faith grows in answered
prayer (1 Chronicles 4:10). When we pray
in faith (Mark 11:22) moved to action, believing (II Chronicles 20:5-12; Romans10:9), without doubt (James 1:6), seeking repentance and forgiveness (Matt 3:2;
Matt 6:14) forgiving those who have hurt us, laying down all strongholds (2Corinthians 10:5), lifting the Name of the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy
Spirit in honor and glory, praising and worshiping (Psalm 34:1), we are in effective prayer.
