What Is the Importance of Prayer in

Christianity?
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition,

with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which
transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ
Jesus - Philippians 4:6-7
Why should we pray? What is the importance of prayer in life of a Christian? Are
such questions hovering over your mind?

Prayer is basically a channel through a man communicates to his God, thereby

establishing a strong relation with the Almighty. Through prayers, a person
conveys their mind, feelings, emotions and inadequacies while God communicates
answers.
Prayer holds an important place in the life of a Christian (Ephesians 6.18; 1
Thessalonians 5.17), but so is Bible study (Acts 17.11; 2 Timothy 2.15). We must

spend a good amount of time in both.

An answer of prayer is like receiving the unparalleled love of Jesus. When you
pray, you experience manifestation of the Holy Spirits that make your intentions
sinless. Love and care of God envelope you as your faith strengthen.
This assures Gods protection over you, your insecurity disappears and you
receive courage to tackle things making your life miserable. This is the way Jesus
expresses His love.
I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for

you all making my prayer with joy - Philippians 1:3-4

A Christian should pray as often as they can, wherever they are. They should pray
for their family, friends, colleagues, church members and pastors to their wellbeing and growth.
