Prayer is God’s way for man to communicate his need to God. God already knows what we need, but he has designed the Christian life to be a life of fellowship. God communicates with us through his Word and we communicate with God through prayer. Prayer should never be limited to telling God all the things that we think we need or want. It should never be an ultimatum or a bargaining chip to get God to do something for us. Prayer is a person going to God and by faith believing that he will do what is asked because it is in his perfect will.
