The Importance of Prayer

Our relationship with God is strengthened when we make time to pray.

When you pray, you make room in your heart for God to act in your behalf and in the behalf of others. 

Prayer anchors our hearts and fortifies our relationship with God.

Relationships, in general, are developed as we spend time with someone.  You enjoy talking and having conversations. 

Likewise, prayer is essential to a believer's relationship with God.

What I love most about prayer is that it can be done in silently, aloud, in private, or with a group.

Prayer can come from the heart; by using scriptures, or words written by others.   

Prayer is essential to hearing God's voice; to knowing His will; to aligning with His purposes.

Here are five ways prayer is important:

1. Prayer lifts one's mind and emotions to God. 
2. Prayer helps strengthen a person's faith. 
3. Prayer helps bring peace to challenging situations.
4. Prayer coupled with journaling can help you discover a deeper comprehension of God’s plan for your life.
5. Prayer provides a deeper connection with God. God desires a relationship with us.  He wants to hear from you and converse with you. 

When we pray ​God hears and responds through ideas, spiritual experiences, scripture, through situations and circumstances and/or through others.

​And, when you learn how to pray through life's challenges and begin to experience the power of pray, making time to pray will no longer be a chore, but a lifestyle.
