Alot of people dont take prayer seriously, that bothers me. In some cases, prayer is a chance for people to show of what a big vocabularies they have, or to gossip about people. Most people arent really even sure about *why* we pray.Which leads us to a very important question: why do we pray?
In a world filled with chaos, we pray because prayer is the antidote to anxiety. “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus”. Philippians 4:6-7. We pray because prayer alleviates our weariness. "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” Matthew 11:28.
So yah, thats it for today.
