Lesson Summary

Prayer is not something we have to do; it’s something we get to do. Prayer is the greatest privilege of our lives—that’s not overstating it. And it’s not something that only super-spiritual people can do. All believers in the Lord Jesus Christ have access to this privilege in a beautiful way through Him.

– James Banks

In this lesson, you learned how to:

  1. Identify three main reasons why we should pray.
  2. Recognize in Scripture God’s desire for, and response to, prayer.
  3. Articulate your own motivations and goals for prayer.

Continue to Lesson 2: Why Not Ask? to learn about asking: why it matters so much to God, and what Jesus shows us about how to do it.
