Why Pray?

God loves you and longs to communicate with you.*

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us (1 John 3:1).

The Affections of a Father

I’m watching, first hand, the fierce love of a first time father for his helpless baby boy.

I’m reminded “How great is the love that Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God” (I John 3:1).

We pray to a Father whose love is limitless.

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God (1 John 3:1).

Our Father’s love lasts forever. That’s why we pray.

Yet loved. Lavishly.

Our need and His love produce prayer.

A baby girl was born this week. She’s special to us. She’s our granddaughter. We love her very much.

We feel God’s love. How very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children (1 John 3:1).

His love gives me reason to pray.
