Why Do Christians Pray?

“Prayer” is uniquely human. Whether they realize it or not, everyone prays. Some address a deity, while others simply “wish” or seek “good vibes.” Yet the fact remains: at one time or another, every person prays. Still, remarkably few ever see genuine fruit from this most basic spiritual act.

Scripture declares that the God of the Bible answers prayer, unlike wishing, hoping, or sending requests into the universe. Yet we all know from experience that sometimes the things we ask for are not answered in the way we hoped. Does this mean God is fickle? Some assume He must be too busy for our “small” concerns, such as a prayer for a parking space. Neither is true. Jesus himself promised that whatever we ask in prayer, he will do. This raises an important question: what is prayer actually designed to accomplish?
