One of the most significant and often repeated questions is, “Why pray?” What is the purpose of prayer? What are you supposed to get out of it? Here are four goals of prayer:

1. Self-discovery: What do you seek? How strongly do you seek it? How long have you sought it? You can learn a great deal about yourself by examining your history of prayers to God. Though God knows your thoughts and needs before you do (Psalm 139:4; Matthew 6:8), you still have to voice them. It is essential to your well-being to let your desires, your hopes as well as your fears, become word.

2. Self-transformation: “Thy will be done,” said Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane before His arrest and crucifixion (Matthew 26:42).

3. God-appeal: We cannot help but ask, even beg God for what we seek from God.

4. God-encounter: This is the most important “why” of prayer. Prayer is the essential means to open us to the gift of God’s presence.
