Why Should We Pray?

The scripture teaches us that God knows what we say even before the words are formed on our tongue and that God is present everywhere (Omnipresent) and knows everything (Omniscient).  So then one can ask the question:  Why should we pray if God already knows our need before we even ask?  While it is a good question, as Christians, we need to share what the word of God says so we can learn, grow and transform.  If Jesus prayed and He was God and needed to commune with the Father, how much more do we need to spend time talking with the Lord?  First, it’s a command, Jesus tells us to pray.  Second, it’s not about having our prayers answered, it’s about talking to God so we can develop an intimate relationship with the risen Lord.  Everyone can pray, but praying with humility is what Jesus is looking for because He is after our hearts.
