Why We Pray:
PRAYER SHARPENS OUR FAITH AND CULTIVATES OUR DEPENDENCY ON GOD. WHEN WE PRAY, WE CHOOSE TO PUT EVERYTHING IN HIS HANDS KNOWING THAT HE WILL SHOW UP IN EVERY ASPECT OF OUR LIVES AND IN THOSE AROUND US.
THE ACT OF PRAYING IS WHAT CREATES OUR INTIMACY WITH GOD. WE CAN PRACTICE THE SPIRITUAL HABIT OF PRAYER KNOWING THAT OUR REQUESTS GO TO A GOD WHO HEARS US AND INVITES US TO BE PERSONALLY INVOLVED IN HIS PLAN. FOR THIS REASON, WE PRAY IN CONFIDENCE BELIEVING THAT OUR PRAYERS ARE POWERFUL AND CAN BRING ABOUT CHANGE IN ANY SITUATION.
THERE ARE NO LEVELS TO THIS. WE CAN ALL ENTER PRAYER WITH A POSTURE OF TRUST, FAITH, AND OPENNESS, BELIEVING THAT GOD CAN DO FAR MORE THAN WE COULD EVER ASK OR IMAGINE. IT’S NOT ABOUT OUR CIRCUMSTANCE, IT’S ABOUT OUR HEART-STANCE.
