The Purpose of Prayer

“These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.”  1 John 5:13-15

The purpose of prayer is so that we can get to know God.  Not just know about His attributes or what He has done or how it is we benefit.  The purpose is that we might know Him.  God personally invites us to pray to Him so that we can have confidence in the person of Jesus Christ.  Our confidence in Christ swells as we see him answer prayer in response to our requests.

So, don't be scared but approach His throne room with freedom and confidence and present your requests before Him.  Ask, seek, and knock.  Then keep on asking, keep on seeking, and keep on knocking.  God will then either answer your request or change your heart so that you can be pleased with the direction that God is choosing to take things.

Prayer is a privilege that every believer should exhaust for the sake of personal growth.
