Prayer is not a duty, but an invitation from our Father. Prayer is an invitation into fellowship with God through Jesus Christ, expressed in adoration, thanksgiving and intercession, through which we draw near to God and learn more of his will for our lives.
He invites us into purpose and power through the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit. When we understand the reasons why we should pray, we will realize all over again what God is inviting us into something precious and powerful – an ever-deepening relationship with him.
Now, I believe there is nothing wrong with asking God to bless us. However, this is just one small but important reason why we should pray. There are a few more significant reasons. That’s why today we give you 8 reasons why prayer is important.
Defined as the action of helping or doing work for someone, a system supplying a public need, or to perform routine maintenance or repair work on.
That’s exactly why prayer is important!
We are interceding for others. It’s how we help someone else. Prayer can repair an emotional wound. At its core, prayer is a system that can meet the public’s need. And it’s the prescribed method for maintaining our spiritual well-being.
Since the beginning of time, God has been talking to us. We’re just not always in a place or state where we can hear him.
Even Adam and Eve enjoyed chats with the Father in the garden before and after their sin.
It is and has always been His desire to share His thoughts with us, His promises, His guidance. If you desire to communicate with our Lord, prayer is necessary.
God delights in us. He longs to bless us and shower His favor upon us. When our desires line up with His desires for us, amazing things happen!
But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you (Matthew 6:6).
And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed with words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will (Romans 8:26-27).
Yet you don’t have what you want because you don’t ask God for it (James 4:2).
The greatest sacrifice and act of submission is when we lay our agenda down and pick up Christ’s.
When we decide to be small so that He may be greater, God’s territory expands and the chances of others being saved increases. Prayer is necessary for this to happen.
Doubt, chaos, and confusion are works of the enemy. He’ll do anything to cloud your judgment, clutter your thoughts, and keep you guessing.
Prayer is necessary for building power and confidence.
You’ll find your heavenly Father standing on level ground. He does not waver. He does not change. He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. You can bank on it.
We now have this light shining our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars, containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves (2 Corinthians 4:7).
I also pray that you will understand the incredible
greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 1:19-20).
For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline (2Timothy 1:7).
