Prayer is the way by which the believer talks with God and receives blessings from Him. When we read the Bible, it is God talking to us. Prayer, therefore, is God’s open cheque to ask anything from Him in Jesus’ name. Prayer is also a way to know God more, it is a relationship builder. The more we pray, the more intimate we get with Him.

While the Bible admonish us not to be anxious about anything, the Bible however told us to submit our requests to God in prayer. Jesus said to His disciples; Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

God wants your joy to be full and it’s subject to you asking in prayer. This shows clearly that God always want to bless His children but many times the reason why we don’t receive is that we do not ask (James 4:2). When we ask, God will be gracious to supply. No wonder Jesus said in Matthew 7:7-8:

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
