As a serious Christian and strong believer we must know that praying is the important part of any religion. Is only through prayer that we can communicate with God and ask for forgiveness of sins and also tell him our problems. Is only through prayer that we can communicate with our creator freely.
But another thing is that prayer alone is not the only thing that we can get closer to God. When we do the will of God we get closer to him through that mesns. God wants us to be obedient to him and always do his will. In James 2:17, the Bible teaches that faith without works is dead. This means we must not only pray but also live according to God’s word. A person who prays but continues in disobedience will struggle to grow spiritually.
For us to go closer to God prayer is one of the key instrument then obedience and following his teachings folliws. The bible teaches us that if we obey God and follow his ways our prayer will be answered. This shows that prayer works best when it is connected to a life that follows God sincerely.
