Prayer is an act of obedience. God calls us to pray and we must respond. God takes great delight in hearing our prayers and meeting our needs. God knows our needs well before we know them. It's comforting to see we have a Father in Heaven with a hallowed name.

About Author
Experiencing the God of Joy: By centering our lives around Christ, we can experience true joy. "According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." —Philippians 1:21
