Prayer is a means of communication with God. We communicate with God when we pray! Prayer is important to Christians.
People who fail to exercise their power of prayer may have been losing some benefits.
To simply put, those who don’t pray are probably leaking some blessings from their reservoir.
There are so many benefits to derive from creating the attitude of communicating with God through prayer. Some of the benefits which are explained here.
As we all know that communication is very important in any relationship; this also applies to our relationship with God.
As we relate with him through prayers, we are refreshing our relationship with him.
How does communication affect our relationship with God?
Through prayer, we are able to interact with God: We talk to him; We get him to hear us, and we get to hear him also.
Through our communication with God, we are able to express our feelings to God. God also expresses his desires to our heart.
(Our expressions may include telling God how we feel about a matter, and how issues that dare to our hearts need his attention).
Does God understand how we feel as we express them? Yes, of course!
The scriptures states,
“For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin” (Hebrews 4:15 KJV).
Something unique is passed down to us when we interact with God through prayer – The love of God. Our love for God grows whenever we approach him in prayer.
As the scripture states,
“As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God” (Psalm 42:1).
Spiritual growth comes through praying and studying the word of God. That is, through Bible study and daily prayer exponentially cause our faith in God to grow.
Prayer is a spiritual exercise. As we pray, more energy comes, and we have more spiritual consciousness.
Our inner mind gains strength when we communicate with God through prayer!
The scriptures states,
“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint” (Luke 18:1).
When we communicate with God in prayers, Satan and demons tremble with fear. The enemies cannot withstand the power of prayer.
Prayer is effective at putting a stop to the works of Satan in believers’ lives.
The scripture states,
“At the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth” (Philippians 2:10).
Prayer unlocks doors of heaven and forces our blessings to be released.
Our request made to God through effective communication (persistent prayer) is like adding icing on the cake.
The good Lord who is initially willing to bless us will double his interest and bless us more.
Indeed, prayer means communicating with God. Prayers will work to anyone’s advantage any time any day!
The scripture states,
“Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.” (John 16:24).
There is no limit to what we can achieve through prayers. Prayer has no restriction: Prayer for children, prayer for protection… the list is endless!

Prayer is a powerful tool, a direct line of communication with the divine. It is a sacred practice that allows us to express our deepest desires, seek forgiveness, and find solace in times of need.
In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it is crucial to carve out dedicated moments for prayer. The tranquility that envelops us during these quiet interludes allows us to escape the chaos and find solace in the profound silence. As my son closes his eyes, bowing his head in reverence, he immerses himself in a realm where he can freely express his hopes, fears, and aspirations.
