Why Bother Praying?

“Your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him” Then why should we ask? The point of prayer is not to get answers from God, but to have perfect and complete oneness with Him. If we pray only because we want answers, we will become irritated and angry with God. We receive an answer every time we pray, but it does not always come in the way we expect, and our spiritual irritation shows our refusal to identify ourselves truly with our Lord in prayer. We are not here to prove that God answers prayer, but to be living trophies of God’s grace...When you seem to have no answer, there is always a reason— God uses these times to give you deep personal instruction, and it is not for anyone else but you. - Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest
