Why Pray?

Luke 11:1 One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples."
What an interesting question, "Teach us to pray". We should ask this question of our Lord today as well.

We Pray because God wants us to, it is our way of communicating with our Lord. It is our way of sharing our joys and sorrows with Him, to express our frustration and our understanding, to sit and listen for his reply and to answer softly when he calls us.

Why Pray? Because our Lord and God instilled in us the desire to communicate with him and prayer is the way he gave us to fulfill this desire.
