4 Biblical Reasons to Make Prayer a Priority<\/h2>\n

In addition to prayer being a part of our love relationship with the Lord, we also find commands for praying to be an ongoing priority in our walk with God.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. We’re told to be faithful in prayer. (Rom. 12:12)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. We’re to devote ourselves to prayer (Col. 4:2) which we see demonstrated in the Early Church (Acts 2:42).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. We’re commanded to pray continually. (1 Thess. 5:17)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. We’re to pray in the Spirit on all occasions. (Eph. 6:18)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Certainly these commands about praying suggest we develop a lifestyle of prayer, regular and on-going communion with the Lord, which suggests the kind of priority praying should be for those who love God with all of their heart, soul, mind, and strength (Lk. 10:27).<\/span><\/p>\n

          The Church Purpose Manual<\/strong><\/a> looks at prayer as one of the ways we fulfill our purpose to love God.<\/p>\n
