What new insights about the importance of prayer did you gather from this lesson?
-
That He bends down to listen to us and that prayer is not a spiritual gift. It is meant for all of us. I love the words, “Because you prayed”.
-
God actually wants to hear from us. Scripture points our God answers prayer “because you prayed” He will answer. This seems to indicate that if we don’t pray, we will miss out on what God has for us. I think of the greatest prayer of all that we can offer…the request for forgiveness from our sins and to accept Jesus’ gift of salvation. We will lose the greatest gift of all when we refuse to pray that prayer. I also loved how Scripture records David’s prayer rejoicing because God bent down to hear his prayer…like a father bends down to show interest I what his child has to say. Its a beautiful picture of God as Father.

To never give up. To continue to prayer Also, Prayer helps to strengthen my relationship with God
-
Prayer is a privilege and an invitation from God. It’s not only important to me, it’s important to God too. God wants a relationship with me. I am not complete without that relationship with God. I need God to survive. I can’t successfully do things on my own. I am weak and God is strong. I am strong in God and in God alone. Jesus should be my Everything. I exist because of Him. He is my Creator.

Psalm 116:1-2…”I love the LORD because He hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Because He bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!”
