Why do we pray? Often, it's to ask God for what we need or in desperation. However, our prayers don't always get answered as we hope, leading to doubts. Jesus taught a different approach to prayer—private, sincere, and simple. He emphasized that God knows our needs already, prompting the question of why we should pray. Prayer's purpose is to align with God's will and surrender our desires. It transforms us from self-centeredness to God-centeredness. We should approach prayer as a conversation with our Father, acknowledging His greatness and submitting to His plan. This type of prayer works, changing us and helping us understand our place in God's plan. Let's follow Jesus' instructions and pray accordingly, seeking a deeper connection with our Father and aligning with His will.
