JOHN 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
For God's benefit, for your good, and for the good of others are the three main motivations to pray.
For God's Benefit.
Our Heavenly Father appreciates listening to simply as much as earthly parents love chatting with their children.
In addition, God has given mankind power over some things that He wants to be done on Planet. God can properly intercede in earthly circumstances through our prayers and carry out His will. Thus, prayer according to God's Word is favorable to God.
For Your Benefit.
Connect with God through prayer. Instead of simply requesting items, it also involves hearing, talking, and expressing thanks.
Communication is necessary in relationships. Without communication, your connection with the Lord won't ever develop.
Spending time in prayer can help you keep spiritually tuned-in and sensitive to God. You stay "connected" with God through prayer.
For Others' Benefit.
People are in desperate need all around us. We can ask God for assistance on their behalf through prayer.
God is able to accomplish more in a minute than you can in a lifetime.
SAY THIS: I will pray because it benefits.
