Reasons Why a Christian Should Pray

a. To have communion with the Father and the Son (1 John 1:3). Praying is really talking reverently
to the Lord. We need to confide in the Lord as we would in our nearest friend. He wants us to pour out our hearts before Him (Psa. 62:8; Sol. 2:14).
b. To express dependence on the Lord in matters of guidance and direction in our lives (Psa. 16:1; Prov. 3:5, 6).
c. To ask God for things we need in our lives (John 14:13, 14; 16:23, 24).
d. To intercede for others, whether they are fellow Christians or lost persons (1 Tim. 2:1, 2; Eph. 6:18; Heb. 13:3, 18, 19).
