Hello to all our listeners in Japan; I am, by reputation and truth, not much of a traveler, but my beloved friend Rob tells me you are the politest people he has ever visited. Thank you for making us a part of your Christian journey.
What should be the content of our prayers? What do His people in the Bible talk to Him about, I thinking everything. You can fact-check me on that.
Trust in Him at all times, O people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah.
Psalm 62:8
The ultimate reason and result of our prayers is the glory of God.
"Pray, then, in this way: 'Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name.
Matthew 6:9
"Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."
1 Corinthians10:31
The chief reason A, is being conformed to His will.
"'Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven."
Matthew 6:9
"And He withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and He knelt down and began to pray, 42 saying, "Father, if Thou art willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Thine be done." 43 Now an angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him. 44 And being in agony He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground."
Luke 22:41-44
Chief reason B is for our soul's satisfaction.
In John 11, Martha learned that her Savior was true and merciful.
In John 11, Mary learned her Savior was faithful and empathetic.
Our So What?
The fullness of the Christian life comes when we pray to God for his glory, and we see those results. And we pray to God chiefly to be brought into his will. We see those goals, and what He accomplishes through His weak vessels. Also, when we pray, knowing in all ways, our souls are satisfied in Him.
Brethren, let's pray for one another.
