Prayer

Prayer is essential to the believer—a vital element to our having a healthy relationship with our
Heavenly Father. In personal prayer, we combine quiet and consistent time in prayer and in reading
our Bibles, and our Lord uses this to answer our prayers according to His will; it nurtures our
walk with Him, the Holy God! In prayer, we express our adoration of our God, reminding
ourselves of a high view of His attributes and work. In prayer, we are exposed to our sin, which
leads us to contrite confession, and in the struggle, we come away from that time with an
invigorated understanding of His grace toward us in Christ Jesus, in whom we have forgiveness
and whose righteousness clothes us. In prayer, He fills us with gratitude of His goodness to us,
and this spills over into thanksgiving to Him. We offer our requests and supplications to our
Lord, and in this He shows us what it means that He always hears and answers our prayers. In
prayer, we remember that God is sovereign to do all that He has willed to do. He delights to do
His will through our prayers to Him. Prayer does not change God’s mind; but, by His work in
and through us, it changes things, it changes us!
