Before the holidays we posted a lot about prayer and the reasons and purposes of it. Now that the holidays are over maybe we should continue with it, as there is so much God has to say about it.
God chose the method of prayer for our benefit and His Glory. According to James 1:5 it is a way God blesses us with wisdom.
James1:5: "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."
It is also a way God has chosen to reveal Himself and His will to us and to bestow knowledge upon us and to answer our never ending questions.
Luke 11:9,10: "And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."
It is also a way He gives us Peace
Philippians4:6,7: "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
