Followers of Jesus Christ know, that prayer is the best way to communicate with GOD. Prayer is the vehicle for daily dialog with the One who created us. The importance of daily communication through prayer cannot be overestimated. It is so important, that it is mentioned over 250 times in Scripture.
So why is daily prayer so important?
First, daily prayer gives us an opportunity to share all aspects of our lives with GOD.
Second, daily prayer gives us the chance to express our gratitude for the things He provides.
Third, daily prayer provides the platform for confessing our sin and asking for help in overcoming that sin.
Fourth, daily prayer is an act of worship and obedience.
And finally, daily prayer is a way to acknowledge who is really in control of our lives.
Let's take a look at each of these important reasons in a little more detail.
Life's circumstances change on a daily basis. In fact,
things can go from good to bad to worse in a very short time. GOD calls us to
bring our concerns to Him for disposition and potential blessing. He also calls
us to share our joys and triumphs with Him. In fact, Jeremiah 33:3 states, "Call to me and I will
answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know."
GOD wants us to call on Him so that He can answer our prayers. He also wants to share with us incredible blessings, that we might otherwise have missed, had we not reached out to Him through prayer. And finally, James 4:8 tells us to "draw near to GOD, and he will draw near to you."
GOD wants us to be close to Him at all times.

Thank GOD for what you have,
Trust GOD for what you need.
