Why do we pray?
What happens when a man engages in effective praying? It is vital we consider these questions.
We pray or engaging ourselves in prayer, to let the promise of God to be fulfilled in our lives. We pray so that we would not fall into devil's trap. Prayer is the piller of a christians which keep us to be Holy, to have direct access to God and to enjoy the all God's goodness He has promised us.
There are things we enjoy from God when we pray. These are;
I. We pray because God has given us very definite promise in His word that He will answer us when we pray.
"Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.
John 14:13-14. NIV

II. When we pray, God supernaturally supplies our needs according to the riches of His grace.
And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. NIV Philippines 4:19.

III. When we pray, we enjoy the peace of god that passes all understanding, and we are not troubled by any fear, anxiety and insecurity.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippines 4:6-7. NIV

IV. When you pray sincerely, we enjoy a deep fellowship with God. We can hear His voice, receive clear direction and solve life's problem in His presence. This prongs fullness of joy and great pleasure.
You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. NIV Psalm 16:11

V. Prayer certainly changes things. Examples;
- Jabez prayed and his life changed.
- David prayed God turned the counsels of his enemy to foolishness.
- Daniel prayed and the nations of Israel came out of their captivity. There is a difference between who pray and the person who does not pray.
Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known
Jeremiah 33:3. ESV

- Prayer changes us. Nobody pray truly and remain the same. There is a transformation that takes place in a person's life when you spend time in the presence of God in prayer.
Moses prayed for forty days in the presence of God and his face began to shine.
My dear friends, you too can be transformed if you are ready to stay in His presence.
Thanks for your time.
