praying_why
Prayer transforms …
… you
… your view of people and situations around you
… the people you pray for
… the situations themselves
In prayer you can talk with God about what matters to you and be drawn into what matters to him. Sometimes God’s ways of answering prayers are not what you expect, but they always serve his purposes: "God wants everyone to be saved. He wants them to come to know the truth." (1 Timothy 2:4)
There are great promises connected with prayer:
- "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know." (Jeremiah 33:3)
- Jesus says: "My Father will give you whatever you ask in my name." (John 16:23)
- "The prayer of a godly person is powerful. It makes things happen." (James 5:16)
