Why do we pray? Have you been disappointed by unanswered prayer? Does prayer really make a difference in our lives? Does prayer change circumstances? How should we pray? These are honest questions concerning prayer that we must wrestle with if we are going to grow spiritually. What happens when we pray just might surprise you. There are several reasons Jesus modeled a consistent prayer life for us. In Matthew 6:5-15 Jesus addresses the heart of prayer: sincerity. He gives us a pattern of prayer: The Lords Prayer (vs.9-13). And He reminds us in verses 14-15 that forgiveness is key to prayer. What would your life look like if you began to earnestly seek God in prayer? What would our churches look like? If a law was passed forbidding you to pray would your daily routine look any different? Prayer makes a difference. Through prayer, real prayer, we allow God to change us. We become more like Jesus!
