And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. Luke 18:1 (ESV) We often hear about the importance of prayer. Why is it important? Is it important because God cannot do His work without us? Is it because we need a way to get what we want? Is it to elevate our importance in the kingdom work? Is it to make me feel like I did everything I could? Is it because God needs my ideas on how to solve a problem? Those who know God and love God, pray to God. Those who want to appear to know God and love God, pray to the God they think they know. If I love God, walk with Him, enjoy Him, and know Him, I will pray. The other day I got a random call from my daughter, who had some good news to share with my wife and me. Something good happened; she communicated with those she loves. It’s what happens when you love and are in relationships. |
