As a deer longs for streams of water, so I long for You, God. Psalm 42:1What is prayer? Simply said, prayer is communication with God. Why we pray is not a question so simply answered. People pray for many reasons. However, praising God and seeking a closer relationship with Him through prayer should be a priority.
When we want to know someone better, we talk with them. It certainly follows that communication with God in prayer is a way to get to know Him better.
I challenge you to use heartfelt, sincere prayer as a way to learn more about God’s character, His will and His way. If you have an intense desire to feel the presence of God in your life, don’t neglect spending time with Him in prayer. You will find this an invaluable asset in your walk of faith.
Having an ongoing dialog with God should be as natural to you as having an ongoing dialog with your friends. Matthew 7:7 tells us to keep asking, keep searching, and keep knocking and the door will be opened to us.
God Bless!
