Prayer is one of the most important part thing a Christian can do. During this time they are communicating with God and it should be taken very seriously. While there is deep theological meaning in prayer, prayer is not something that is complicated and difficult. It can be done anywhere at any time.
Jesus set the perfect example of obedience in prayer. Although His day was filled with many pressures and responsibilities, addressing the crowds, healing the sick, granting private interviews, traveling, and training His disciples, He made prayer a top priority in His life. If Jesus was so dependent upon His fellowship in prayer alone with His Father, how much more should we spend time alone with God. Let’s follow Jesus’ example!
Prayer is how we communicate with God. If we are to be obedient to His will, then prayer must be part of our life in Him.
The Bible calls us to prayer? Here are several passages that are relevant to prayer:
- “Pray for those who persecute you” –Matthew 5:44 (NIV) [1]
- “And when you pray …” –Matthew 6:5
- “This, then, is how you should pray …” –Matthew 6:9
- “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” –Romans 12:12
- “And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.” –Ephesians 6:18
- “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” –Philippians 4:6
- “Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.” –Colossians 4:2
- “Pray continually” -1 Thessalonians 5:17
- “I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made for everyone …” -1 Timothy 2:1
Prayer is an act of obedience. God calls us to pray and we must respond.
