Signs of the Times

The frequent reference to the prayers of Jesus in the Gospels indicates that they were a natural and vital part of his life. . . . His prayers were related to daily experience and needs. His prayers grew out of an awareness of the presence and power of God and his own need for God's help in meeting life's experiences. . . .

Our prayers will have their greatest meaning and value if they can come as a natural response to God. When we believe that God can help us meet the tasks and problems of daily living, we will pray. If we recognize that He is the source of our blessings, we will thank Him.
