One of the foundations of the Christian faith is prayer. We know that to have a relationship with the Father, we must foster that relationship with prayer.
When we limit our time in prayer, we often limit what God can do in our lives. Therefore, we need to prioritize this prayer time to receive all God has for us.
Jesus set this example often as He would retreat to a quiet place to pray. And, then, He would return and perform miracles.
Those in ministry must spend time in prayer to receive God’s direction and seek His plan.
The Bible has many verses that speak to God’s faithfulness if we humble ourselves and pray.
I hope these Bible verses about Prayer encourage you today!
