SEVEN REASONS TO PRAY TODAY
Even though
God knows all our needs, scripture stresses the necessity of prayer. Here are
seven reasons why we are urged to pray regularly.
1.
Prayer
connects us to God and God’s power. Changes take place when we pray. Sometimes
the issue is transformed; other times we are the ones changed. Either way,
God’s power is at work.
2.
Prayer
is a way of sharing our burden. Some problems are difficult to share with
another human being. The issue may involve deep guilt or shame, making it
difficult to confide in a friend. In such cases, prayer can help ease the
burden
3.
Prayer
puts into words what troubles us. No difficulty can be resolved until it is
identified and articulated
4.
Prayer
reduces feelings of helplessness. Rather than feeling life is out of control,
when we pray, we take the first step in reclaiming our lives and putting order
into chaos.
5.
Prayer
is a powerful reminder we are not alone. Life’s troubles often leave us feeling
isolated, lonely, and vulnerable. Prayer reminds us that we are not facing
difficulty alone.
6.
Prayer
generates courage; we become fortified, strengthened, and more confident as a
result of prayer.
7.
Prayer
provides us with a sense of direction, rather than merely being tossed about on
life’s sea, we receive insight, guidance and direction from prayer
