Please read this for background about Thursday Big Question Posts.Why Do We Pray?
When we pray we talk to God. God wants us to speak to him in our own words.
We can praise God. We can give thanksgiving to God. We can confess to God what we have done wrong and how we may have hurt people. We can ask God for help. And we can ask God to take good care of others and the world.
When we pray we are sharing our life with God and God is helping us to feel good.
The Bible tells us, "Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life." Philippians 4:6-7.
