Prayer is the sacred privilege of speaking with God the Father, through Jesus Christ the Son, by the leading and power of the Holy Spirit. It is how we express worship, offer thanksgiving, seek forgiveness, intercede for others, and petition for help. But above all, prayer is about relationship—drawing near to the Lord and inviting His will to be done in our lives.
Jesus Himself modeled the importance of prayer. He prayed in solitude (Mark 1:35), in public (John 11:41–42), before meals (Matthew 26:26), in times of sorrow (Luke 22:44), and in times of triumph (Luke 10:21). If the Son of God needed to pray, how much more should we?
