Pray your way to a deeper relationship with God. For Jesus, prayer was as necessary as breathing. If the Son of God felt such a great need for contact with the Father, how much more do we!            But why do we need to pray? God, who knows everything, knows our needs. Why do we need to tell Him what He already knows? This is one of the most basic misunderstandings about prayer. We think the purpose of prayer is to give information to God: “Lord, I need this and I need that”—when in reality the purpose of prayer is to conform us to His will.            Prayer doesn’t change God. Prayer changes us. It changes our attitude from complaint to praise. It enables us to participate in God’s eternal plan. It makes us aware of our total inadequacy—and God’s infinite sufficiency.            Join beloved Bible teacher Ray Stedman as he leads you through the prayer life of our Savior and shows how Jesus taught us what it means to have direct, personal fellowship with God and how to move deeper into fellowship with Him through prayer.            Pray your way to a deeper relationship with God. RAY C. STEDMAN (1917–1992) was pastor of the Peninsula Bible Church in Palo Alto, California, for forty years. He is the author of over twenty books, including Adventuring Through the Bible, The Fight of Faith, Friend of God, and his classic Body Life, about the purpose of the church.
