EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
WHY PRAY?
I was asked by a friend, “Why do we pray as God knows at all?”
That is a great question because not only does the Lord know us, but He knows us each on a deeply intimate level.
“Oh Lord, you have searched me and know me! You know, when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it all together.” (Psalm 139:1-4)
God knows everything, yet. He answers according to his will and his glory. Prayer, and compasses so much. I am reminded of CS Lewis saying, “Prayer doesn’t change God. It changes me.”
