Why is dependence on God in prayer so important?
-
Dependence on God in prayer is important because God is good and kind and he wants us to come to Him with our needs so he can encourage us to live lives that are dependence on him as his children. He wants to set us free to live expectantly as children of God. Looking forward to him most of allas Pastor Banks stated in his readings.
-
When we pray to God we must think of ourselves as is children. We must come to Him and know that everything in our lives is depended upon him. Although we may think that we can make it through this life on our own, that is far from the truth. We need God to walk beside us along the way because we need to depend upon him for strength and knowledge to help fight out everyday battles.
-
Our dependence on God is important because in our fallen natural we will only mess things up. There is nothing that God can’t do or nothing He can’t provide when we ask Him if what we ask is in His will. We can’t stand against Satan but when we pray to God for help in our temptations Satan can’t stand against Jesus.
-
We must go to God in prayer like children. Depending on Him for our every need because we can’t do anything in our own strength. He is our source for everything.
-
When we live a life that is dependent on God and prayer it shows that we don’t depend on ourselves or have faith in ourselves to get anything accomplished. We come to Him with faith like a child fully trusting that He will take care of everything. It also shows us our priorities for living in God’s presence. Here is where we place God in the center of our lives. Acts 17:28
“For in Him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also His offspring.”
