The Bible has a lot to say about prayer. It is a way to communicate with God and seek His guidance, comfort, and help. The Bible tells us that we should pray without ceasing and that we should pray for one another.
• Jesus was the Son of God, but he often engaged in prayer. Before choosing his apostles, he prayed. He prayed for his disciples to gain a greater spiritual perspective. Most importantly, Jesus prayed the night before his betrayal, trial, beating and crucifixion. (Matthew 26: 36-37; Matthew 6: 9-13).
