Why bother with prayer? If God is the all-powerful creator who rules sovereignly over the entire earth, what's the point of my little, insignificant prayer?
This is a common question among Christians, especially for those who are beginning to understand the sovereignty of God in all He does. When I went through a season of struggling with this issue, three things were helpful for me to keep in mind as I wrestled with the question, "Why pray?"
1. Prayer is commanded by God throughout the entirety of Scripture.
2. Prayer is our means of communication with an Almighty God whereby he edifies his people.
3. Prayer is the means by which God causes many things to happen. I'll let John Piper expound upon this point.
