Prayer is important, because it makes us more like Jesus and because it reveals to us the heart and mind of God. C.S Lewis stated, “I pray because I can’t help myself … I pray because the need flows out of me all the time, waking and sleeping. It doesn’t change God. It changes me.” Prayer is a gift given to us and expected of us as believers. The Bible often says “when you pray”, not “if you pray”.
So, for these forty days, we take time to slow down, spend time in Scripture and prayer together, and, like young Samuel, say to the Lord, “Speak, for your servant is listening” (1 Sam 3:10).
