WHY BOTHER TO PRAY??

First: To Enjoy God: “Our Father…”

Two: To Become Like Jesus

Three: To receive God’s gifts

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will

be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds,

and to him who knocks it will be opened.” Matthew 7:7-8 (NKJV)

Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good;

Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Psalm 34:8 (NKJV)

Four: For the sake of those who are far from God
