Sisters in Prayers Sweetmore J. Amos-Muzondo

Praying is the only way to communicate with God, our Creator. Prayer is the vehicle for daily dialog with the One who created us. The importance of daily communication through prayer cannot be overestimated. God wants us to call on Him so that He can answer our prayers. He also wants to share with us incredible blessings that we might otherwise have missed had we not reached out to Him through prayer. And finally, James 4:8 tells us to "draw near to God, and he will draw near to you." God wants us to be close to Him at all times. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18: "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." It's God's will for His children to rejoice in Him, to pray to Him and give thanks to Him. To pray without ceasing simply means that we should make prayer a regular habit and never stop doing so. Daily prayer is also an act of obedience that brings joy to the Lord to see His children following His commands.
