Why Prayer Matters

Prayer is not a religious formality — it is the means by which we relate to a personal God. This lesson explores why God invites imperfect people to speak with Him, and why prayer changes us even before it changes our circumstances.

Jesus modeled a consistent, unhurried prayer life (Luke 5:16), and taught His disciples to approach God as "Father" (Matthew 6:9) — intimate, not distant. Prayer is relationship, not performance.
