peace into your life, help you learn more about God’s
plan for you, and more. Here are 10 ways prayer can
improve your life, starting today.

Prayer helps you develop a relationship with God.
Just like your parents here on earth, your Heavenly Father

wants to hear from you and talk to you. When you pray, He
listens. Then He answers your prayers in the form of
thoughts, spiritual feelings, scriptures, or even the actions of
other people.
Prayer helps you gain an understanding of God’s

loving nature.
The scriptures teach, “God is love” (1 John 4:8). You can feel
that love as you speak daily with Him through prayer, seeking
His guidance in your life.

Prayer provides answers.
Praying and listening to the answers God gives you can help
you better understand your purpose in life. God will help you
understand why you are here and what you can do to return
to live with Him after this life.

Prayer is how we reach out to God. And more often than not, prayer lets God
reach into our hearts and ll us with His love. (1:18)
Prayer helps you nd direction in your life.

When you privately pray to God, you can work through

serious decisions in your life. God always listens and often
provides the speci c answers and guidance we seek. Even
when He chooses not to answer immediately or in the way we
might have hoped, prayer itself is a way to nd peace.
Prayer gives you strength to avoid temptation.
Jesus counseled His disciples, “Watch and pray, that ye enter

not into temptation” (Matthew 26:41). Through prayer, we
can overcome temptations to sin. Pray for God’s help to keep
you from making wrong choices. This will give you the
strength to do what is right.

Prayer aligns your will with God’s will.
The purpose of prayer is not necessarily to tell God how you

want Him to do things. Rather, it’s to better understand Him
and His ways, bringing yourself into alignment with His will.
As C.S. Lewis is often attributed as saying, prayer “doesn’t
change God. It changes me.”
Prayer and regular fasting can help you accept

God’s will.
Jesus fasted for 40 days and 40 nights before He began His

ministry on the earth. As He did this, He communed with His
Father in Heaven in prayer. Likewise, if you pray and fast, you
can feel closer to God and better understand the things He
wants you to do.
God wants to hear from you. Pray with Us
Prayer can work miracles.
Throughout the scriptures, we see many examples of the Lord

working miracles as an answer to prayer. In Old Testament
times, the prophet Daniel was thrown into a lion’s den
because he refused to stop praying. When he prayed to God
in the lion’s den, angels appeared and closed the mouths of
the lions. Through daily prayer, you can also experience
personal miracles, such as healing, peace, and forgiveness for
sins.
Prayer invites the Holy Spirit into your life.

As you pray daily, you invite the Holy Spirit to be with you,
whose purpose is to comfort and direct you. The Holy Spirit
can give you answers, help you feel God’s love, and bring a
feeling of peace and joy into your heart.

Prayer helps you become more like Jesus.
Jesus set the perfect example of prayer. If you try to follow

His example through prayer, you will become more like Him
and develop a better relationship with Him and Heavenly
Father.
