Why Pray?

Why Pray?

I’m just going to say it out loud.  Prayer and me….well, we have a fickle relationship.  Sometimes, I’m just not that into it.  Sadly.  Because I’m the one losing out when I don’t spend time with God….sharing and listening.

“Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.” Luke 5:16

I see that time and time again in scripture.  Jesus withdrew.  Jesus prayed.  Often.  I know He was God in the flesh and He was perfect.  But He also understood what I often forget:  Prayer changes things: It changes my priorities, my anxiety level, my confidence in God’s Word, my outlook for the day.  We need time with God.  Often.  Why not get alone right now with Him and …..listen?
