Prayer is not occasional speech but a way of life. We cannot live well without it. Jesus lived prayer, and through it we move from believership to discipleship, connecting spiritually with God. Prayer is not mainly about getting what we want; it aligns us with God and His will. Prayer builds two-way communication with God, giving us confidence and stability. Discipleship means joining God in His work in the world. Jesus began restoring this broken world, and prayer enables us to continue His work. Through prayer, we partner with God’s transforming will. We pray for world leaders because prayer transforms. We lack what we do not ask for with right motives. If we do not pray, who will? Close your eyes right now and pray for what is on your heart; prayer will transform your life.
