What’s the Big Deal About Prayer? by Patsy Clairmont
What’s the big deal about prayer?
We know we should all do it more often, take it more seriously, and give it more time — but we don’t. Does this mean prayer is optional? After all, some of the other spiritual disciplines seem pretty outdated, like fasting and solitude. Who has time for that? That kind of stuff is for monks, nuns, and pastors. We’ve gotten along okay without it.
So, does prayer fit into the non-essentials of the Christian walk? Prayer must be an “in case of emergency” last resort kind of spiritual tool. Right?
No way!
Prayer isn’t some kind of requirement for believers. It is a privilege! You have the ear of the Divine. Prayer is our path to the adventure of building a relationship with our Savior.
God knows what’s going on in your life. The Creator of everything stops to hear the lisping of toddlers. The Sustainer of every living thing hears the groans and sighs of the aging. He is aware of every thought, every choice, every move you make—but He is waiting for you to turn to Him and tell Him about it.
God listens to you. He will answer you
