The Importance of Prayer

Praying is a powerful tool for communicating with our Creator. Prayer is an opportunity to commune with the Giver of all things good. Prayer is not a something to be taken lightly or to be used infrequently. We should not limit praying to mealtimes or bedtimes; it should be an ever-present focus in our daily lives. Daily prayer and meditation are a matter of will and habit. We must willingly organize our time by carving out quiet moments with God, and we must form the habit of daily worship. When we do, we will discover that no time is as precious as the silent moments we spend with our Heavenly Father. Let us take our concerns, fears, and hopes to God in prayer and trust the answers He gives. Let us accept our Heavenly Father’s will for our lives today and every day that we live. — Philippians 4:6
