Why Pray? The Bible, the holy Word of God, gives many reasons why we should pray. We are not to pray only when we feel like praying. According to the Word of God, prayer must be regular, common practice in our lives. It is our spiritual breath and life. We cannot live spiritually without it.

Why Pray? Because we cannot get along without prayer and maintain a healthy spiritual life, just as we cannot get along without food to keep our physical bodies going. Many Christians today are weak because of lack of prayer. They have no joy, no blessing, no power, no victory, and no desire to serve Lord. If you do not have fellowship with God through prayer, you will find it hard to go through the physical and spiritual tests and trails of life. Christ is our example in this respect. He took much time to pray.

Christ Needed to Pray- We must Pray
In Matthew 14:23 we read, " And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there," Just think, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, prayed and talked much, in private, to His Heavenly Father! If the the Son of God prayed, how much more do we need to pray to our Heavenly Father, Jesus went allow to a mountain to pray. Any one of us can get alone to pray. It is important for each Christian to go some place where no one can disturb him and pour out his heart to God.
In Luke 5:16 we read, " So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed." Jesus tried to separate Himself from all else to be alone in undisturbed prayer.

Christ Commanded Us To Pray

When Jesus had the great burden of His Last days on Earth on His heart, He took three of His disciples with Him to pray. He left them while He went farther into the garden to pray. It was a great disappointment to Jesus to find His followers asleep when he returned, instead of bearing His burden with Him. ( Matthew 26:36-41)

Many believers today are sleeping spiritually, having no burdens upon their hearts. This is why we have so little revival, joy, blessing and missionary vision. Many today actually do not want to be spiritually awakened or stirred to do something for God. We must take time to pray and become burdened for God's work, so He can use us in a new way and so we can see great things done for Him.
