Prayer is important….

This week’s posts will focus on Prayer: A Way of Life and speak from the topics: The Position of Prayer, The Purpose of Prayer, and Preparation for Prayer.

Google defines importance as the state of having great significance or value; likely to have a profound effect on success, survival, or well-being.

Most of us would agree that prayer is important. Big Mama, Madea, Maw-Maw, another family member or friend told us that prayer would have great significance and a profound effect on our success, survival, and well-being. And we believed it.

Prayer should be a major tool in our spiritual tool box. Therefore, asking for God’s help, protection, and guidance should be a major part of our lives.

The Bible declares that we should make our request made know unto God. We plead with God to incline His ear to our supplication because we know He is a prayer answering God.

We recognize that we are here by God’s divine intervention; we understand that by His power we are enabled to accomplish everything He has called us to; and we believe that He is the giver of every good and perfect gift. So, we pray.

Prayer is important, but for more reasons than we understand. Prayer is important, not because of who we are, but because of who God is.

Through prayer we have the opportunity to commune with our Heavenly Father. Through prayer we have the opportunity to fellowship with the Almighty One. Through prayer we seek God’s perspective—with the goal of becoming more like Him.

Prayer is important. Take time to get to know God through prayer.
