Why do we pray?
One of the reasons is we are asked to pray.
Jesus said, “Pray ye”.
Another is because we need help and others do too.
Matthew 9:37-38
Then saith he unto his disciples, “The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; PRAY YE THEREFORE the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.”
“Did You Today?”
This question was asked by a sister Worker in a Special Meeting.
Then she said, “Jesus asked you to!”
I felt smitten.
Matthew 24:20
But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day
There are distressing circumstances that will come upon our Nation and we are invited to pray for circumstances that will enable us to endure, even if it is only a natural blessing.
If they had to flee to the mountains, and it was winter time, babies likely would perish and likely even adults, because there was no time for preparations.
If it was on a Sabbath the gates of the city would be locked, and travel limited.
The big reason to pray is because we can change things, including the mind of God!
