"For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ" (Ephesians 3:14)
We all have a best friend, or someone we are closest to. Chances are that person is one of the people we talk to the most. You can’t have a close relationship with someone with whom you don’t communicate. The same goes for God. How can we be close to God if we don’t talk to Him? How can we have a relationship with Jesus if there is no communication? The truth is: You can’t! Prayer is our way of talking to God. In order for us to have a close relationship with Him, we have to be in constant communication. He wants to hear from us, and we need to talk to Him. To start, choose a specific time to pray every day. Perhaps your first prayer could be, “Lord, I ask for Your help and Your power to assist me in faithfully praying throughout the next 30 days.”
