Bible Question: Why do we have to pray when God already knows what we are going to pray? |
Bible Answer: Daffy, the simplest answer to your question happens to be the scriptural one. We are to pray because we are commanded to pray. (cf. 1 Thess. 5:17). Jesus prayed. The patriarchs of old prayed. The apostles prayed. We pray. That is the scriptural answer, and I will not become involved in a fuzzy-headed, speculative dissertation on why we have to pray when God already knows what we are going to pray. Why do we sing praises to God when He already knows what we are going to sing? Why do we meet together in corporate worship when God already knows what we are going to do? Get the point? --Hank |
