It has been said that, “Seven days without prayer, makes one weak.” Sometimes you hear someone say, “We’ve done all we can. The only thing we can do now is pray.” Prayer really should be our first resort rather than our last resort.

Jesus gave us the Lord’s Prayer, as a model prayer and Jesus himself often went off to pray, setting an example for us to do the same. In Matthew 14:23, it says, “And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.” (KJV) If Jesus needed to go off and pray, how much more do we need to? Praying should not be something we do out of duty and routine. Prayer is talking and listening to our loving, all knowing, heavenly Father.

The book of James tells us to pray for wisdom when we don’t know what to do (James 1:5). In Philippians 4:6,7, prayer is connected with receiving God’s peace. In Ephesians 6:18, prayer is a very important part of battling the forces of evil. We are also told to pray for those in Authority over us (I Timothy 2:1,2).

Prayer shows our dependence on God, His power and His wisdom. Prayer is powerful and so important.
