Can you imagine if you never spoke to people, especially important people in your life? Or, if you never shared your joys, struggles, trials and pains? It would be a lonely and depressing existence!
It's the same with prayer except you're communicating with your Creator who is your Father in heaven!
Prayer isn't just a lifeline, rather, it's a daily moment-by-moment communication with Him.
Prayer is a privilege as you talk to Him about what's going on in your life, seek wisdom and intercede for others and more!
Hebrews 4:16 encourages us to:
"Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." -
Hebrews 4:16
Simply put, approach Him with confidence and never ever think that He's too busy for you! He always is there so...pray!
"God does things in and through our lives by prayer that He does in no other way." -Henry BlackabyGod is at work in you when you pray my friend!
We're also told in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."
-1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Prayer is a constant activity as you abide in Christ and through every and any circumstance you pray through it.
Don't wait for a struggle or trouble to come to start communication / prayer with the Lord! If you aren't already... Start praying each day or moment as He created you for relationship with Him and He wants to hear from you!
In Christ Alone,
